Helpfully handling Command Not Found in PowerShell

About CommandNotFoundAction

In PowerShell there is a callback ("Action") that is called when a command lookup fails through normal means. The purpose of this callback is to allow you to add your own command-resolution, and there are a lot of community hacks out there already:

Community Implementations

• You could add support for new command types, like

indented-automation

using namespace System.Net.Sockets; using namespace System.IO

function Watch-StarWars {
    [CmdletBinding()]
    param ( )

    try {
        $tcpClient = [TcpClient]::new()
        $tcpClient.Connect('towel.blinkenlights.nl', 23)

function Measure-ChildItem {
    <#
    .SYNOPSIS
        Recursively measures the size of a directory.
    .DESCRIPTION
        Recursively measures the size of a directory.

        Measure-ChildItem uses win32 functions, returning a minimal amount of information to gain speed. Once started, the operation cannot be interrupted by using Control and C. The more items present in a directory structure the longer this command will take.

        This command supports paths longer than 260 characters.
