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:
mode
0555
owner bin
group bin
• If you do not have administrative permissions, the default mode, owner, and group of the destina-
tion 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 destina-
tion. 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.
