It is important to note that cmdlet parameters can have assigned alias names. They are not always easy to find but they are there. This is why you can say -ea instead of -errorAction. Use this code to locate the alias parameter names of any cmdlet:
'Get-Childitem' |
Foreach-Object {
(get-command $_).parameters |
% { $_.Values |
Where-Object { $_.Aliases.Count -gt 0 } |
Select-Object Name, Aliases
}
}
You can accomplish this by simply replacing the name of the cmdlet you want to examine at the start of the pipeline.
