Overview

installcommand installs a command from Go source files.

Synopsis:

SYMLINK [ARGS...]
installcommand [INSTALLCOMMAND_ARGS...] COMMAND [ARGS...]

Description:

In u-root's source mode, uncompiled commands in the /bin directory are
symbolic links to installcommand. When executed through the symbolic
link, installcommand will build the command from source and exec it.

The second form allows commands to be installed and exec'ed without a
symbolic link. In this form additional arguments such as `-v` and
`-ludicrous` can be passed into installcommand.

Options:

-lowpri:    the scheduler priority to lowered before starting
-exec:      build and exec the command
-force:     do not build if a file already exists at the destination
-v:         print all build commands
