.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 \fByum\fP(1) or \fBapt\-get\fP(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.
.TP
\fB\-\-backup\fR[=\fI\,CONTROL\/\fR]

.TP
\fB\-b\fR

do not modify the destination at all
.TP
\fB\-d\fR, \fB\-\-directory\fR
treat all arguments as directory names; create all
components of the specified directories
.TP
\fB\-D\fR
create all leading components of DEST except the last,
or all components of \fB\-\-target\-directory\fR,
then copy SOURCE to DEST
.TP
\fB\-g\fR, \fB\-\-group\fR=\fI\,GROUP\/\fR
set group ownership, instead of process' current group
.TP
\fB\-m\fR, \fB\-\-mode\fR=\fI\,MODE\/\fR

.TP
\fB\-o\fR, \fB\-\-owner\fR=\fI\,OWNER\/\fR
set ownership (super\-user only)
.TP
\fB\-p\fR, \fB\-\-preserve\-timestamps\fR
apply access/modification times of SOURCE files
to corresponding destination files
.TP
\fB\-s\fR, \fB\-\-strip\fR
strip symbol tables
.TP
\fB\-\-strip\-program\fR=\fI\,PROGRAM\/\fR
program used to strip binaries
.TP
\fB\-S\fR, \fB\-\-suffix\fR=\fI\,SUFFIX\/\fR
override the usual backup suffix
.TP
\fB\-t\fR, \fB\-\-target\-directory\fR=\fI\,DIRECTORY\/\fR
copy all SOURCE arguments into DIRECTORY
.TP
\fB\-T\fR, \fB\-\-no\-target\-directory\fR
treat DEST as a normal file
.TP
\fB\-v\fR, \fB\-\-verbose\fR
print the name of each directory as it is created
.TP
\fB\-\-preserve\-context\fR
preserve SELinux security context
.TP
\fB\-Z\fR
set SELinux security context of destination
file and each created directory to default type
.TP
\fB\-\-context\fR[=\fI\,CTX\/\fR]
like \fB\-Z\fR, or if CTX is specified then set the
SELinux or SMACK security context to CTX
.TP
\fB\-\-help\fR
display this help and exit
.TP
\fB\-\-version\fR
output version information and exit
.PP
The backup suffix is '~', unless set with \fB\-\-suffix\fR or SIMPLE_BACKUP_SUFFIX.
The version control method may be selected via the \fB\-\-backup\fR option or through
the VERSION_CONTROL environment variable. Here are the values:
.TP
none, off
never make backups (even if \fB\-\-backup\fR is given)
