NAME

       cpset - install object files in binary directories

SYNOPSIS

       object directory mode owner group]]]

DESCRIPTION

       The  command  installs the specified object file in the given directory.  The mode, owner, and group, of the destination file can be speci-
       fied on the command line.  If this data is omitted, two results are possible:

	 o  If you have administrative permissions (that is, your numerical ID is less than 100), the following defaults are provided:

		   mode

	 o  If you do not have administrative permissions, the default mode, owner, and group of the destination file are the same as yours.

       The option forces to move object to in the destination directory before installing the new object.

       reads the file to determine the final destination of the file to be installed.  The file contains pairs of path names separated	by  spaces
       or tabs.  The first name is the "official" destination (for example: The second name is the new destination.  If is moved from to the entry
       in would be:

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

       This  file  does  not  exist on a distribution tape; it is used by sites to track local command movement.  The procedures used to build the
       source are responsible for defining the "official" locations of the source.

   Cross Generation
       The environment variable is used to locate the destination file (in the form This is necessary in the cases where cross generation is being
       done on a production system.

EXAMPLES

       If  you	are  an administrator, all of the following examples have the same effect.  They copy file into with mode, owner, and group set to
       respectively:

       If you are not an administrator, the last two examples set mode, owner, and group to your current values.
