DDEESSCCRRIIPPTTIIOONN The file(s) are copied (or linked if the --ll option is specified) to the target file or directory. If the destination is a directory, then the _f_i_l_e is copied into _d_i_r_e_c_t_o_r_y with its original filename. If the target file already exists, it is either renamed to _f_i_l_e_._o_l_d if the --bb option is given or overwritten if permissions allow; an alternate backup suffix may be specified via the --BB option's argument. --aa _c_o_m_m_a_n_d Run _c_o_m_m_a_n_d on the target after installation and strip- ping (--ss), but before ownership, permissions or time- stamps are set and before renaming (--rr) occurs. _c_o_m_m_a_n_d is invoked via the sh(1) shell, allowing a sin- gle --aa argument be to specified to bbssddiinnssttaallll which the shell can then tokenize. --BB _s_u_f_f_i_x Use _s_u_f_f_i_x as the backup suffix if --bb is given. If _s_u_f_f_i_x contains a '%' sign, a numbered backup will be performed, and the %-pattern will be expanded using sprintf(3), given an integer counter as the backup num- ber. The counter used starts from 0, and the first available name resulting from the expansion is used. --bb Backup any existing files before overwriting them by renaming them to _f_i_l_e_._o_l_d. _S_e_e --BB for specifying a dif- ferent backup suffix. --cc Copy the file. This is the default behavior; the flag is maintained for backwards compatibility only. --DD _d_e_s_t_d_i_r Specify the DESTDIR (top of the file hierarchy) that the items are installed in to. If --MM _m_e_t_a_l_o_g is in use, a leading string of ``_d_e_s_t_d_i_r'' will be removed from the file names logged to the _m_e_t_a_l_o_g. This option does not affect where the actual files are installed. --dd Create directories. Missing parent directories are created as required. --ff _f_l_a_g_s Specify the target's file flags. (See chflags(1) for a list of possible flags and their meanings.) --gg _g_r_o_u_p Specify a group. --hh _h_a_s_h When copying, calculate the digest of the files with _h_a_s_h to store in the --MM _m_e_t_a_l_o_g. Supported digests: nnoonnee No hash. This is the default. mmdd55 The MD5 cryptographic message digest. rrmmdd116600 The RMD-160 cryptographic message digest. sshhaa11 The SHA-1 cryptographic message digest. sshhaa225566 The 256-bits SHA-2 cryptographic message digest of the file. sshhaa338844 The 384-bits SHA-2 cryptographic message digest of the file. sshhaa551122 The 512-bits SHA-2 cryptographic message digest of the file. --ll _l_i_n_k_f_l_a_g_s Instead of copying the file make a link to the source. The type of the link is determined by the _l_i_n_k_f_l_a_g_s argument. Valid _l_i_n_k_f_l_a_g_s are: _a (absolute), _r (rela- tive), _h (hard), _s (symbolic), _m (mixed). Absolute and relative have effect only for symbolic links. Mixed links are hard links for files on the same filesystem, symbolic otherwise. --MM _m_e_t_a_l_o_g Write the metadata associated with each item installed to _m_e_t_a_l_o_g in an mtree(8) ``full path'' specification line. The metadata includes: the file name and file type, and depending upon other options, the owner, group, file flags, modification time, and tags. --mm _m_o_d_e Specify an alternative 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 descrip- tion of possible mode values. --NN _d_b_d_i_r Use the user database text file _m_a_s_t_e_r_._p_a_s_s_w_d and group database text file _g_r_o_u_p from _d_b_d_i_r, rather than using the results from the system's getpwnam(3) and getgrnam(3) (and related) library calls. --oo _o_w_n_e_r Specify an owner. --pp Preserve the source files access and modification times. --rr Install to a temporary file and then rename the file to its final destination name. This can be used for pre- cious files, to avoid truncation of the original when error conditions (filesystem full etc.) occur. --SS _s_t_r_i_p_f_l_a_g_s bbssddiinnssttaallll passes _s_t_r_i_p_f_l_a_g_s as option arguments to strip(1). When --SS is used, strip(1) is invoked via the sh(1) shell, allowing a single --SS argument be to speci- fied to bbssddiinnssttaallll which the shell can then tokenize. Normally, bbssddiinnssttaallll invokes strip(1) directly. This flag implies --ss. --ss bbssddiinnssttaallll exec's the command strip(1) to strip bina- ries so that bsdinstall can be portable over a large number of systems and binary types. If the environment variable STRIP is set, it is used as the strip(1) pro- gram. --TT _t_a_g_s Specify the mtree(8) tags to write out for the file when using --MM _m_e_t_a_l_o_g. --UU Indicate that bsdinstall is running unprivileged, and that it should not try to change the owner, the group, or the file flags of the destination. The information that would have been updated can be stored in a log file with --MM _m_e_t_a_l_o_g. By default, bbssddiinnssttaallll preserves all file flags, with the exception of the ``nodump'' flag. The bbssddiinnssttaallll utility attempts to prevent copying a file onto itself. Installing _/_d_e_v_/_n_u_l_l creates an empty file. EENNVVIIRROONNMMEENNTT STRIP The program used to strip installed binaries when the --ss option is used. If unspecified, _/_u_s_r_/_b_i_n_/_s_t_r_i_p is used. EEXXIITT SSTTAATTUUSS The bbssddiinnssttaallll utility exits 0 on success, and >0 if an error occurs.
