+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.I Ins
+queues a request to `install' the named
+.I target
+file \- in the simplest case, by copying from
+.I source
+to
+.BR target " \-
+and then attempts to execute all pending requests
+for the target,
+until thwarted by lack of privilege.
+By default, each target has a separate queue, but if several files are
+to be updated together their requests can
+also be placed in another separate queue.
+If modification requests for a given target file appear in several
+different queues, those requests will be executed in correct time
+order.
+A request will be served only when it is at the front of all the queues
+it is in.
+.PP
+If no target is named,
+.I ins
+attempts to serve all pending requests.
