Syntax

[-displayError] [-showError]

Key
-property Object[]
The object properties to display (in order)
Wildcards are permitted.

-view string
The name of an alternate format or "view."
-groupBy Object
Format the output in groups based on a shared property or value.
-force
Override restrictions that prevent the command from succeeding,
without compromising security. Force will override read-only
attributes but will not change file permissions.
-expand string
Where string is either EnumOnly (the default), CoreOnly or Both
'CoreOnly' will format and display properties of the collection object itself,
while 'emumOnly' will enumerate and display the object properties.
(designed around the ICollection (System.Collections) interface.)
-displayError
Display errors at the command line.
-showError
Send errors through the pipeline.
-depth int
The number of columns in the display.
CommonParameters:
-Verbose, -Debug,-ErrorAction,-ErrorVariable, -OutVariable.
