Function overloading in PowerShell

Question

Can you overload functions in PowerShell?

I want to my function to accept a string, array or some switch.

An example of what I want:

• Backup-Use

Answer 1

Here is a variant of Roman's answer that I think is a little more flexible:

function Backup
{
    [CmdletBinding(DefaultParameterSetName='Users')]
    Param (
        [parameter(mandatory=$true, ParameterSetName='Users', position=0, ValueFromPipeline=$true)][string[]]$User,
        [parameter(mandatory=$true, ParameterSetName='AllUsers')][switch]$All
    )

    Begin
    {
        if ($All) { $User = @('User1', 'User2', 'User3') }
    }

    Process
    {
        foreach ($u in $User)
        {
            echo "Backup $u"
        }
    }
}
