DDEESSCCRRIIPPTTIIOONN
     The file(s) are moved (or copied if the --cc option is specified) to the
     target file or directory.  If the destination is a directory, then the
     _f_i_l_e is moved into _d_i_r_e_c_t_o_r_y with its original filename.  If the target
     file already exists, it is overwritten if permissions allow.

     --cc      Copy the file.  This flag turns off the default behavior of
             iinnssttaallll where it deletes the original file after creating the
             target.

     --ff      Specify the target's file flags.  (See chflags(1) for a list of
             possible flags and their meanings.)

     --gg      Specify a group.

     --mm      Specify an alternate mode.  The default mode is set to rwxr-xr-x
             (0755).  The specified mode may be either an octal or symbolic
             value; see chmod(1) for a description of possible mode values.

     --oo      Specify an owner.

     --ss      IInnssttaallll exec's the command strip(1) to strip binaries so that in-
             stall can be portable over a large number of systems and binary
             types.

     By default, iinnssttaallll preserves all file flags, with the exception of the
     ``nodump'' flag.

     The iinnssttaallll utility attempts to prevent moving a file onto itself.

     Installing _/_d_e_v_/_n_u_l_l creates an empty file.

     Upon successful completion a value of 0 is returned.  Otherwise, a value
     of 1 is returned.
