#1. Get-Command # Get-Command is one of three commands that make up the Trinity of Discoverability. # These three commands will help you find your way around what PowerShell can do. # Get-Command helps you find out what commands exist. Get-Command -Module ShowDemo # Because everything is an object in PowerShell, we can pipe this into other commands. # So, if we wanted to just get a random loaded command from Show-Demo, we'd use: Get-Command -Module ShowDemo | Get-Random # In PowerShell, it's common for commands to share similar names. # So we can search for commands by wildcard: Get-Command *Demo* #2. Get-Help # Get-Help helps us figure out how commands work. Get-Help Show-Demo # By default, you see an overview of available help. # We can get help about each parameter by using -Parameter * Get-Help Show-Demo -Parameter * #3. Get-Member # Get-Member helps us figure out what properties and methods are available on an object. # For example, we can see what properties are available on the output of Get-Command: Get-Command -Module ShowDemo | Get-Member # Every object has members. Let's get the members of ShowDemo Get-Module ShowDemo | Get-Member # We can also get -Static members. This is especially useful for classes. [Math] | Get-Member -Static |
