what are overlaysto enable a process to be larger


What are overlays?

To enable a process to be larger than the amount of memory allocated to it, overlays are used. The idea of overlays is to keep in memory only those instructions and data that are needed at a given time. When other instructions are required, they are loaded into space occupied previously by instructions that are no longer required.
