SYNOPSIS

       pmkinstall [-bcs] [-B suffix] [-g group] [-m mode] [-o owner] file1 file2
       pmkinstall [-bcs] [-B suffix] [-g group] [-m mode] [-o owner] file1 ...  fileN directory

       pmkinstall -v
       pmkinstall -h

DESCRIPTION

       The file(s) are copied to the target file or directory.  If the destination is a directory, then the file
       is  copied  into  directory  with  its  original filename.  If the -b option is given and the target file
       already exists, it is renamed to the original name folloeb by the backup suffix.  The default  suffix  is
       ".old" but can be overriden with the -B option.

       The options are as follows:

       -B suffix
               Orverride backup suffix

       -b      Backup any existing files before overwriting.

       -c      Copy  the  file.   This  is  actually  the default.  The -c option is only included for backwards
               compatibility.

       -d      Create directories.  Missing parent directories are created as required.

       -g group
               Specify a group.  A numeric GID is allowed.

       -h      Display usage.

       -m mode
               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.

       -o owner
               Specify an owner.  A numeric UID is allowed.

       -s      pmkinstall exec's the command of environment variable STRIP to strip binaries so that install can
               be  portable  over a large number of systems and binary types.  If the environment variable STRIP
               is not set, the action is skipped.

       -h      Display version.
       The pmkinstall utility exits 0 on success, and >0 if an error occurs.

ENVIRONMENT

       STRIP  Set which strip(1) program to run.
