Metadata

Jason Shirk's excellent post on meta-programming inspired this function and alias I have added to my profile to help me get a handle on the use and format of paramaters in CTP2 v3 scripts. 

function Create-Metadata($args0) {

$args0 = new-object System.Management.Automation.CommandMetadata (get-command $args0)

[System.Management.Automation.ProxyCommand]::Create($args0) | out-file ProxyCommand.txt

more ProxyCommand.txt

}

Set-Alias cm Create-Metadata

Run as below:

CM("trace-command")

[CmdletBinding(DefaultParameterSetName='expressionSet')]

param(

    [Parameter(ValueFromPipeline=$true)]

    [System.Management.Automation.PSObject]

    ${InputObject},

    [Parameter(Mandatory=$true, Position=0)]

    [System.String[]]

    ${Name},

    [Parameter(Position=2)]

    [System.Management.Automation.PSTraceSourceOptions]

    ${Option},

    [Parameter(ParameterSetName='expressionSet', Mandatory=$true, Position=1)]

    [System.Management.Automation.ScriptBlock]

    ${Expression},

    [Parameter(ParameterSetName='commandSet', Mandatory=$true, Position=1)]

    [System.String]

    ${Command},

    [Parameter(ParameterSetName='commandSet', ValueFromRemainingArguments=$true)]

    [Alias('Args')]

    [System.Object[]]

    ${ArgumentList},

    [System.Diagnostics.TraceOptions]

    ${ListenerOption},

    [Alias('PSPath')]

    [System.String]

    ${FilePath},
