| Guest | Determining which CMDLETs a pssnapin adds With the release of the PowerShell Community Extensions I have been wanting to provide automatic ways to disover the functionality that comes with it. Let's face it, documentation tends to be static and often isn't up-to-date and/or correct. So I added an alias for the 1.0 alias that will list all of the PSCX created aliases: galpscx This works only because we have adopted a convention of using the "Description" property of Set-Alias and we start each description with "PSCX". So all the galpscx aliases does is expand to a Get-AliasPscx function which does this: Get-Alias | ?{$_.Description -match "^PSCX"} It turns out that each cmdlets indicates which PSSnapIn it is associated with which is way cool e.g.: 22> gcm Set-FileTime | fl * DLL : C:\Program Files\PowerShell Community Extensions\Pscx.dll Verb : Set Noun : FileTime HelpFile : Pscx.dll-Help.xml PSSnapIn : Pscx <snip> Note that you have to specify "fl *" to get the PSSnapIn property to display. Now you can do something like this: 15> gcm -type cmdlet | group PSSnapin | fl * Values : {Microsoft.PowerShell.Management} Count : 47 Group : {Add-Content, Clear-Content, Clear-Item, Clear-ItemProperty, Convert-P ath, Copy-Item, Copy-ItemProperty, Get-ChildItem, Get-Content, Get-Eve ntLog, Get-Item, Get-ItemProperty, Get-Location, Get-Process, Get-PSDr ive, Get-PSProvider, Get-Service, Get-WmiObject, Invoke-Item, Join-Pat h, Move-Item, Move-ItemProperty, New-Item, New-ItemProperty, New-PSDri ve, New-Service, Pop-Location, Push-Location, Remove-Item, Remove-Item Property, Remove-PSDrive, Rename-Item, Rename-ItemProperty, Resolve-Pa th, Restart-Service, Resume-Service, Set-Content, Set-Item, Set-ItemPr operty, Set-Location, Set-Service, Split-Path, Start-Service, Stop-Pro cess, Stop-Service, Suspend-Service, Test-Path} Name : Microsoft.PowerShell.Management <snip> or to see what is in a particular pssnapin: 23> gcm -type cmdlet | ? {$_.PSSnapin -match "^Pscx"} CommandType Name Definition ----------- ---- ---------- Cmdlet ConvertFrom-Base64 ConvertFrom-Base64 [-Base64T...

For the next version of PSCX I'll be adding a function Get-PSSnapInCmdlet that will take a search pattern for specifying the PSSnapIn as well as an alias gcmpscx that lists all the PSCX provided cmdlets. -- Keith |

Then you can take it the other way round: get-pssnapin | select name,@{n="Cmdlets";e={$si=$_;gcm -type cmdlet | ?{$_.pssnapin -eq $si}}} Jacques |
