.SH EXAMPLES
.TP 
.B grml-bind -c /etc/inputrc
The file /etc/inputrc will be copied to /ramdisk/grml-bind/inputrc and mounted back with --bind
.TP
.B grml-bind -r /etc/inputrc
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
.TP
.B grml-bind -c /etc/vim
Now you can edit your vim configuration.
.TP
.B grml-bind -rc /etc/vim
To see what's going on
.SH BUGS/LIMITATIONS
.TP
.B no hardlinks
grml-bind can not work with hardlinks because grml-bind copies the files to another filesystem.
So hardlinks do not work.
.TP
.B only one mapping with the same name
grml-bind /a/b && grml-bind /c/b  (will not work)
