Summary: Use Windows PowerShell to display the syntax of a Windows PowerShell cmdlet.
How can I use Windows PowerShell to look at the syntax of a cmdlet without the distraction of a lot of additional information?
Use the Get-Help cmdlet, and choose only the Syntax property.
(The following example uses the Get-Process cmdlet):
PS C:\> (get-help get-process).syntax
Get-Process [[-Name] <String[]>] [-ComputerName <String[]>] [-FileVersionInfo]
[-Module] [<CommonParameters>]
Get-Process [-ComputerName <String[]>] [-FileVersionInfo] [-Module] -InputObject
<Process[]> [<CommonParameters>]
Get-Process [-ComputerName <String[]>] [-FileVersionInfo] [-Module] -Id <Int32[]>
[<CommonParameters>]
Get-Process -Id <Int32[]> -IncludeUserName [<CommonParameters>]
Get-Process -IncludeUserName -InputObject <Process[]> [<CommonParameters>]
Get-Process [[-Name] <String[]>] -IncludeUserName [<CommonParameters>]
