The install-mimic utility copies the specified files to the specified
destination (file or directory) similarly to install(1), but it preserves
the ownership and access mode of the destination files. This is useful when
updating files that have already been installed with locally modified copies
that may be owned by the current user and not by the desired owner of the
destination file (e.g. root).
