Common parameters
I’ve been looking at the get-diskfreespace function over a number of posts. We’ve been looking a mixture of turning it into a production script and adding the advanced functionality from PowerShell v2. In this post http://richardsiddaway.spaces.live.com/default.aspx?_c01_BlogPart=blogentry&_c=BlogPart&handle=cns!43CFA46A74CF3E96!2005 we added the
[CmdletBinding()] parameter
As soon as we add this parameter we get a whole bunch of functionality for free. Our original function had a single parameter for the comptuer name – we now have a whole bunch of them
Get-Command get-diskfreespace | select parametersets
{ [[-computer] ] [-Verbose] [-Debug] [-ErrorAction ] [-WarningAction ] [-ErrorVariable ] [-WarningVariable ]
[-OutVariable ] [-OutBuffer ] }
These are the standard common parameters that we expect to see with any cmdlet.
Next we’ll look at how we use some of them
