8 grml-bind is a program to prepare a file on a read-only filesystem for writing.
9 It copies the file to a ramdisk and mount --bind it back.
10 Very usefull for distributions like grml.
14 Show summary of options.
17 Create the file-mapping
20 Remove the file-mapping
23 Verbose (show what is going on)
26 If no Option is given, -c (create) is assumed
29 .B grml-bind -c /etc/inputrc
30 The file /etc/inputrc will be copied to /ramdisk/grml-bind/inputrc and mounted back with --bind
32 .B grml-bind -r /etc/inputrc
33 If you already unlocked /etc/inputrc (with grml-bind -c /etc/inputrc), then the mount will be removed and rm -r /ramdisk/grml-bind/inputrc will be executed
35 .B grml-bind -c /etc/vim
36 Now you can edit your vim configuration.
38 .B grml-bind -rc /etc/vim
39 To see what's going on
43 grml-bind can not work with hardlinks because grml-bind copies the files to another filesystem.
44 So hardlinks do not work.
46 .B only one mapping with the same name
47 grml-bind /a/b && grml-bind /c/b (will not work)
