<# | |
.SYNOPSIS | |
A brief description of the function or script. This keyword can be used | |
only once in each topic. | |
.DESCRIPTION | |
A detailed description of the function or script. This keyword can be | |
used only once in each topic. | |
.PARAMETER <Parameter-Name> | |
The description of a parameter. You can include a Parameter keyword for | |
each parameter in the function or script syntax. | |
The Parameter keywords can appear in any order in the comment block, but | |
the function or script syntax determines the order in which the parameters | |
(and their descriptions) appear in Help topic. To change the order, | |
change the syntax. | |
You can also specify a parameter description by placing a comment in the | |
function or script syntax immediately before the parameter variable name. | |
If you use both a syntax comment and a Parameter keyword, the description | |
associated with the Parameter keyword is used, and the syntax comment is | |
ignored. | |
.EXAMPLE | |
A sample command that uses the function or script, optionally followed | |
by sample output and a description. Repeat this keyword for each example. | |
.INPUTS | |
The Microsoft .NET Framework types of objects that can be piped to the | |
function or script. You can also include a description of the input | |
objects. | |
.OUTPUTS | |
The .NET Framework type of the objects that the cmdlet returns. You can | |
also include a description of the returned objects. | |
.NOTES | |
Additional information about the function or script. | |
.LINK | |
The name of a related topic. Repeat this keyword for each related topic. | |
This content appears in the Related Links section of the Help topic. | |
The Link keyword content can also include a Uniform Resource Identifier | |
(URI) to an online version of the same Help topic. The online version | |
opens when you use the Online parameter of Get-Help. The URI must begin | |
with "http" or "https". | |
.COMPONENT | |
The technology or feature that the function or script uses, or to which | |
it is related. This content appears when the Get-Help command includes | |
the Component parameter of Get-Help. | |
.ROLE | |
The user role for the Help topic. This content appears when the Get-Help | |
command includes the Role parameter of Get-Help. | |
.FUNCTIONALITY | |
The intended use of the function. This content appears when the Get-Help | |
command includes the Functionality parameter of Get-Help. | |
.FORWARDHELPTARGETNAME <Command-Name> | |
Redirects to the Help topic for the specified command. You can redirect | |
users to any Help topic, including Help topics for a function, script, | |
cmdlet, or provider. | |
.FORWARDHELPCATEGORY <Category> | |
Specifies the Help category of the item in ForwardHelpTargetName. | |
Valid values are Alias, Cmdlet, HelpFile, Function, Provider, General, | |
FAQ, Glossary, ScriptCommand, ExternalScript, Filter, or All. Use this | |
keyword to avoid conflicts when there are commands with the same name. | |
.REMOTEHELPRUNSPACE <PSSession-variable> | |
Specifies a session that contains the Help topic. Enter a variable that | |
contains a PSSession. This keyword is used by the Export-PSSession | |
cmdlet to find the Help topics for the exported commands. | |
.EXTERNALHELP <XML Help File Path> | |
Specifies the path to an XML-based Help file for the script or function. | |
In Windows Vista and later versions of Windows, if the specified path | |
to the XML file contains UI-culture-specific subdirectories, Get-Help | |
searches the subdirectories recursively for an XML file with the name | |
of the script or function in accordance with the language fallback | |
standards established for Windows Vista, just as it does for all | |
XML-based Help topics. | |
For more information about the cmdlet Help XML-based Help file format, | |
see "How to Create Cmdlet Help" in the MSDN (Microsoft Developer Network) | |
library at http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=123415. | |
