NAME
     cpset - install object files in binary directories

SYNOPSIS
     cpset [ -o ] object directory [ mode owner group ]

DESCRIPTION
     cpset installs the specified object file in the given direc-
     tory.  The mode, owner, and group of the destination file
     may be specified on the command line.  If mode, owner, and
     group are not specified, two results are possible:

          If the user of cpset has administrative permissions
          (that is, the user's numerical ID is less than 100),
          the following defaults are provided:

                         mode   - 0755

                         owner  - bin

                         group  - bin

          If the user is not an administrator, the default mode,
          owner, and group of the destination file will be that
          of the invoker.

     For example:


          cpset echo /bin 0755 bin bin
          cpset echo /bin
          cpset echo /bin/echo

     All the examples above have the same effect (assuming the
     user is an administrator).  The file echo will be copied
     into /bin and will be given mode 0755, bin as the group, and
     bin as the owner.

     cpset utilizes the file /usr/src/destinations to determine
     the final destination of a file.  The locations file con-
     tains pairs of path names separated by spaces or tabs.  The
     first path name is the official destination (for example,
     /bin/echo.)  The second name is the new destination.  For
     example, if echo is moved from /bin to /usr/bin, the entry
     in /usr/src/destinations would be:

          /bin/echo /usr/bin/echo

     When the actual installation happens, cpset verifies that
     the old pathname does not exist.  If a file exists at that
     location, cpset issues a warning and continues.

     An optional argument of -o will force cpset to move object
     to OLDobject in the destination directory before installing
     the new object.

     /usr/src/destinations does not exist on the distribution
     tape; it is used by sites to track local command movement.
     The procedures used to build the source will be responsible
     for defining the official locations of the source.

   Cross Generation
     The environment variable ROOT will be used to locate the
     destination file (in the form $ROOT/usr/src/destinations).
     This is necessary in the cases where cross generation is
     being done on a production system.
