## Name

remount - remount a filesystem with new mount flags

## Synopsis

```**c++
#include <LibCore/System.h>

ErrorOr<void> remount(StringView target, int flags);
```

## Description

`remount()` mounts a filesystem that is mounted at `target` with new mount flags of `flags`.

The following `flags` are supported:

-   `MS_NODEV`: Disallow opening any devices from this file system.
-   `MS_NOEXEC`: Disallow executing any executables from this file system.
-   `MS_NOSUID`: Ignore set-user-id bits on executables from this file system.
-   `MS_RDONLY`: Mount the filesystem read-only.
-   `MS_WXALLOWED`: Allow W^X protection circumvention for executables on this file system.
-   `MS_AXALLOWED`: Allow anonymous executable mappings for executables on this file system.
-   `MS_NOREGULAR`: Disallow opening any regular files from this file system.

These flags can be used as a security measure to limit the possible abuses of the mounted file system.

## Errors

-   `EINVAL`: The `flags` value contains deprecated flags such as `MS_REMOUNT` or `MS_BIND`.
-   `EPERM`: The current process does not have superuser privileges.
-   `ENODEV`: No mount point was found for `target` path target.

All of the usual path resolution errors may also occur.
