-CommandName
The name of the command to search for.
| Type: | String[] |
| Position: | Named |
| Default value: | None |
| Required: | True |
| Accept pipeline input: | False |
| Accept wildcard characters: | False |
-Credential
Optional credentials to be used when accessing a repository.
| Type: | PSCredential |
| Position: | Named |
| Default value: | None |
| Required: | False |
| Accept pipeline input: | False |
| Accept wildcard characters: | False |
-DscResourceName
The name of the DSC Resource to search for.
| Type: | String[] |
| Position: | Named |
| Default value: | None |
| Required: | True |
| Accept pipeline input: | False |
| Accept wildcard characters: | False |
-IncludeDependencies
When specified, search returns all matching resources their dependencies. Dependencies are deduplicated.
| Type: | SwitchParameter |
| Position: | Named |
| Default value: | False |
| Required: | False |
| Accept pipeline input: | False |
| Accept wildcard characters: | False |
-Name
Name of a resource to find. Wildcards are supported but NuGet only accepts the * character. NuGet
doesn't support wildcard searches of local (file-based) repositories.
| Type: | String[] |
| Position: | 0 |
| Default value: | None |
| Required: | False |
| Accept pipeline input: | True |
| Accept wildcard characters: | True |
-Prerelease
When specified, includes prerelease versions in search results returned.
| Type: | SwitchParameter |
| Position: | Named |
| Default value: | False |
| Required: | False |
| Accept pipeline input: | False |
| Accept wildcard characters: | False |
-Repository
Specifies one or more repository names to search. If not specified, search includes all registered repositories, in priority order (highest first), until a repository is found that contains the package. Repositories are sorted by priority then by name. Lower Priority values have a higher precedence.
When searching for resources across multiple repositories, the PSResourceGet cmdlets search the
repositories using this sort order. Find-PSResource returns all matching packages from the sorted
list of repositories.
The parameter supports the * wildcard character. If you specify multiple repositories, all names
must include or omit the wildcard character. You can't specify a mix of names with and without
wildcards.
| Type: | String[] |
| Position: | Named |
| Default value: | None |
| Required: | False |
| Accept pipeline input: | True |
| Accept wildcard characters: | True |
-Tag
Filters search results for resources that include the specified tags. If multiple tags are specified, the cmdlet only returns resources that include all the tags provided.
| Type: | String[] |
| Position: | Named |
| Default value: | None |
| Required: | False |
| Accept pipeline input: | False |
| Accept wildcard characters: | False |
-Type
Specifies one or more resource types to find. Resource types supported are:
NoneModuleScript
| Type: | Microsoft.PowerShell.PSResourceGet.UtilClasses.ResourceType |
| Accepted values: | None, Module, Script |
| Position: | Named |
| Default value: | None |
| Required: | False |
| Accept pipeline input: | False |
| Accept wildcard characters: | False |
-Version
Specifies the version of the resource to be returned. The value can be an exact version or a version range using the NuGet versioning syntax.
Wildcards are supported but NuGet only accepts wildcard character *. For more information about
NuGet version ranges, see Package versioning.
PowerShellGet supports all but the minimum inclusive version listed in the NuGet version range
documentation. Using 1.0.0.0 as the version doesn't yield versions 1.0.0.0 and higher (minimum
inclusive range). Instead, the value is considered to be the required version. To search for a
minimum inclusive range, use [1.0.0.0, ] as the version range.
| Type: | String |
| Position: | Named |
| Default value: | None |
| Required: | False |
| Accept pipeline input: | False |
| Accept wildcard characters: | True |
