Summary

Completed

In this module, you've learned about the cmdlet structure and the parameters for using Windows PowerShell cmdlets. You've also learned how to use tab completion and how to display About files content. The following are the key takeaways:

  • The common structure cmdlet creators use, is the Verb-Noun format. This helps you predict both a cmdlet's name and its syntax, thus making it much easier to discover and use cmdlets.
  • Parameters modify the actions that a cmdlet performs. You can specify no parameters, one parameter, or many parameters for a cmdlet.
  • Tab completion is a PowerShell feature that improves the speed and ease of finding and entering cmdlets and parameters.
  • In addition to the help content relating to commands, About help files contain documentation about the PowerShell scripting language, operators, and other details. This information doesn't specifically relate to a single command, but to global shell techniques and features.
