The information contained in cmdlet help files you will find most interesting is divided into six major
topics. By using certain parameters with Get-Help , you can display each of these topics in varying
degrees of detail:
Synopsis: A brief description of the cmdlet and what it does.
Syntax: One or more syntax diagrams that detail the use of the cmdlet and its input parameters.
Detailed Description: A more detailed description than the synopsis.
Parameters: A detailed description of each parameter and how they are used.
Examples: One or more examples of how the cmdlet is executed.
Related Links: The names of other cmdlets that may be related in some way to this cmdlet.
The command Get-Help < cmdlet name > without any parameters displays the Synopsis, Syntax,
Detailed Description, and Related Links topics. This is the same information displayed when using the
command < cmdlet name > -? .
The command Get-Help < cmdlet name > -Detailed displays additional information about the
cmdlet including descriptions of each parameter (but not details) along with the Examples topic.
