epminstall adds or replaces a directory, file, or symlink in a list file. The default list file is "epm.list" and can be overridden using the EPMLIST environment variable or the --list-file option.

Entries are either added to the end of the list file or replaced in-line. Comments, directives, and variable declarations in the list file are preserved.

epminstall recognizes the standard Berkeley install command options:

-b

-g group

Set the group owner of the file or directory to group. The default group is "sys".

-m mode

-o owner

Set the owner of the file or directory to owner. The default owner is "root".

-s

Strip the files (ignored, default for EPM.)
