NAME
cpset — install object files in binary directories
SYNOPSIS
cpset
[-o]
object
directory
[-
mode
[-
owner
[-
group]]]
DESCRIPTION
The
cpset
command installs the specified
object
file in the given
directory.
The
mode,
owner,
and
group,
of the destination file can be specified on the command line.
If this data is omitted, two results are possible:
If you have administrative permissions
(that is, your numerical ID is less than 100),
the following defaults are provided:
If you do not have administrative permissions,
the default
mode,
owner,
and
group
of the destination file are the same as yours.
The
-o
option forces
cpset
to move
object
to
OLDobject
in the destination directory before installing the new object.
cpset
reads the
/etc/src/destinations
file
to determine the final destination of the file to be installed.
The
destinations
file contains pairs of path names separated by spaces or tabs.
The first name is the "official" destination (for example:
/usr/bin/echo).
The second name is the new destination.
If
echo
is moved from
/usr/bin
to
/usr/local/bin,
the entry in
destinations
would be:
/usr/bin/echo /usr/local/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.
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
ROOT
is used to locate the destination file (in the form
$ROOT/etc/src/destinations).
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
echo
into
/usr/bin
with
mode,
owner,
and
group
set to
0555,
bin,
bin,
respectively:
cpset echo /usr/bin 0555 bin bin
cpset echo /usr/bin
cpset echo /usr/bin/echo
If you are not an administrator,
the last two examples set
mode,
owner,
and
group
to your current values.
