+The command mount(8) supports read-only binds in one step by the options
+"bind,ro" (command line or fstab). This feature is implemented by additional
+remount mount(2) syscall and it is not atomic.

The commands fdisk and sfdisk can be compiled with GNU readline support to
improve their line-editing functionality.
