DESCRIPTION

Binary is moved (or copied if -c is specified) to destination.  If destination
already exists, it is removed before binary is moved.  If the destination is a
directory then binary is moved into the destination directory with its original
file-name.

The mode for destination is set to 755; the -m mode option may be used to
specify a different mode.

Destination is changed to owner root; the -o owner option may be used to
specify a different owner.

Destination is changed to group staff; the -g group option may be used to
specify a different group.

If the -s option is specified, the binary is stripped after being installed.

The install command refuses to move a file onto itself.
