+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.\" Add any additional description here
+.PP
+This install program copies files (often just compiled) into destination
+locations you choose. If you want to download and install a ready\-to\-use
+package on a GNU/Linux system, you should instead be using a package manager
+like yum(1) or apt\-get(1).
+.PP
+In the first three forms, copy SOURCE to DEST or multiple SOURCE(s) to
+the existing DIRECTORY, while setting permission modes and owner/group.
+In the 4th form, create all components of the given DIRECTORY(ies).
+.PP
+Mandatory arguments to long options are mandatory for short options too.
