The info page says install has --target-dircetory option, but  install doesn\'t accept it as valid.

touch a; mkdir d; install --target-directory d a
install: unrecognized option `--target-directory\'
Попробуйте `install --help\' для получения более подробного описания.

$ rpm -qf $(which install)

I have no answer from coreutils maintainers on this subject so far.
So it\'s probably a documentation typo.

I hope it\'s not a typo. I think the intention to have --target-dierctory option in coreutils where possible is very good; it makes using coreutils with xargs simpler.

Finally I\'ve got written confirmation from one of coreutils maintainers (Jim Meyering):
---
I planned to do it when I implemented it for those other
commands, but never got around to it, then forgot :-)

Thanks for pointing it out.
I\'ve just added it to the TODO list.
