+<para>Most commands allow the override of specific
+configuration options on the command line, using the <arg
+choice="plain">-o</arg> option.  This option has the form <arg
+choice="plain">-o</arg><replaceable>name</replaceable>=<replaceable>value</replaceable>.
+An optional space is allowed after the <arg choice="plain">-o</arg>.
+Each configuration option should be specified in a separate
+command-line option.</para>
+
+<para>For global options, <replaceable>name</replaceable> is simply the name of the option, e.g.,
+<programlisting>
+amdump -oruntapes=2
+</programlisting>
+For options in a named section of the configuration, <replaceable>name</replaceable> has the
+form <replaceable>SECTION</replaceable>:<replaceable>section_name</replaceable>:<replaceable>name</replaceable>,
+where <replaceable>SECTION</replaceable> is one of TAPETYPE, DUMPTYPE, HOLDINGDISK, or INTERFACE, and
+<replaceable>section_name</replaceable> is the name of the tapetype, dumptype, holdingdisk, or interface.
+Examples:
+<programlisting>
+amdump -o TAPETYPE:HP-DAT:length=2000m
+amdump -o DUMPTYPE:no-compress:compress="server fast"
+amdump -o HOLDINGDISK:hd1:use="-100 mb"
+amdump -o INTERFACE:local:use="2000 kbps"
+</programlisting>
+</para>
+
+<para>Note that configuration overrides are not effective for tape
+changers, which supply a tapedev based on their own configuration.  In order to
+override <emphasis remap="I">tapedev</emphasis>, you must also disable any changer:
