PowerShell Commands
PowerShell consists of four types of commands:
1. Cmdlets
2. Functions
3. Scripts
4. External commands
Cmdlets are commands ‘built-in’ to PowerShell. They are written in a .NET language
(C#, VB.NET, F#, etc.) and compiled into a dynamic link library (.DLL) file.
Commands have a verb-noun naming convention, where the verb describes the
action to take on the noun. Nouns are always named in a singular way (Process
rather than Processes). It is also worth knowing that PowerShell is not case
sensitive.
