## DESCRIPTION
DESCRIPTION
powershell commandline shell and .NET REPL.
PowerShell is an automation and configuration management platform.
It consists of a cross-platform (Windows, Linux and OS X)
command-line shell and associated scripting language.
OPTIONS
-NoLogo
Hides the copyright banner at startup.
## OPTIONS
-NoExit
Does not exit after running startup commands.
PowerShell accepts both `-` and `--` prefixed arguments.
-NoProfile
Does not load the PowerShell profile.
* `-NoLogo`:
Hides the copyright banner at startup.
-NonInteractive
Does not present an interactive prompt to the user.
* `-NoExit`:
Does not exit after running startup commands.
-InputFormat
Describes the format of data sent to PowerShell. Valid values are "Text" (text strings) or "XML" (serialized CLIXML format).
* `-NoProfile`:
Does not load the PowerShell profile.
-OutputFormat
Determines how output from PowerShell is formatted. Valid values are "Text" (text strings) or "XML" (serialized CLIXML format).
* `-NonInteractive`:
Does not present an interactive prompt to the user.
-EncodedCommand
Accepts a base-64-encoded string version of a command. Use this parameter to submit commands to PowerShell that require complex quotation marks or curly braces.
-File
Runs the specified script in the local scope ("dot-sourced"), so that the functions and variables that the script creates are available in the current session. Enter the script file path and any parameters. File must be the last parameter in the command, because all characters typed after the File parameter name are interpreted as the script file path followed by the script parameters.
* `-InputFormat`:
Describes the format of data sent to PowerShell.
Valid values are "Text" (text strings) or "XML" (serialized CLIXML format).
-ExecutionPolicy
Sets the default execution policy for the current session and saves it in the $env:PSExecutionPolicyPreference environment variable. This parameter does not change the PowerShell execution policy that is set in the registry.
* `-OutputFormat`:
Determines how output from PowerShell is formatted.
Valid values are "Text" (text strings) or "XML" (serialized CLIXML format).
-Command
Executes the specified commands (and any parameters) as though they were typed at the PowerShell command prompt, and then exits, unless NoExit is specified. The value of Command can be "-", a string or a script block. If the value of Command is "-", the command text is read from standard input. If the value of Command is a script block, the script block must be enclosed in braces ({}). You can specify a script block only when running PowerShell in PowerShell. The results of the script block are returned to the parent shell as deserialized XML objects, not live objects. If the value of Command is a string, Command must be the last parameter in the command , because any characters typed after the command are interpreted as the command arguments. To write a string that runs a PowerShell command, use the format: "& {<command>}" where the quotation marks indicate a string and the invoke operator (&) causes the command to be executed.
* `-EncodedCommand`:
Accepts a base-64-encoded string version of a command.
Use this parameter to submit commands to PowerShell that
require complex quotation marks or curly braces.
-Help, -?, /?
Shows this message.
* `-File`:
Runs the specified script in the local scope ("dot-sourced"),
so that the functions and variables that the script creates are available in the current session.
Enter the script file path and any parameters.
File must be the last parameter in the command,
because all characters typed after the File parameter name are
interpreted as the script file path followed by the script parameters.
FILES
/home/usr/.config/powershell.Microsoft.PowerShell_profile.ps1
User configuration file.
~/.powershell
runs powershell
* `-ExecutionPolicy`:
Sets the default execution policy for the current session and saves it in the
$env:PSExecutionPolicyPreference environment variable.
This parameter does not change the PowerShell execution policy that is set in the registry.
ENVIRONMENT
$profile
Displays location for user configuration file.
* `-Command`:
Executes the specified commands (and any parameters) as though they were typed at the PowerShell command prompt,
and then exits, unless NoExit is specified.
The value of Command can be `-`, a string or a script block.
If the value of Command is `-`, the command text is read from standard input.
If the value of Command is a script block, the script block must be enclosed in braces (`{}`).
You can specify a script block only when running PowerShell in PowerShell.
The results of the script block are returned to the parent shell as deserialized XML objects, not live objects.
If the value of Command is a string, Command must be the last parameter in the command,
because any characters typed after the command are interpreted as the command arguments.
DIAGNOSTICS
See GitHub for debugging information.
BUGS
Please report all bugs to GitHub.
To write a string that runs a PowerShell command,
use the format: `& {<command>}` where the quotation marks indicate a string and the
invoke operator (`&`) causes the command to be executed.
