Use overrides

Learn what can be done with an override and how to manage the overrides that currently exist.

You can use overrides to temporarily change a file name, a device name associated with the file, or some of the other attributes of a file. Overrides allow you to make minor changes in how a program functions. Overrides allow you to select the data, on which they operate, without recompiling the program.
