Viewing file: Select action/file-type: TOPIC about_Functions_Advanced_Methods SHORT DESCRIPTION Describes how functions that specify the CmdletBinding attribute can use the methods and properties that are available to compiled cmdlets. LONG DESCRIPTION Functions that specify the CmdletBinding attribute can access a number of methods and properties through the $pscmdlet variable. These methods include the following methods: - Input-processing methods that compiled cmdlets use to do their work. - The ShouldProcess and ShouldContinue methods that are used to get user feedback before an action is performed. - The ThrowTerminatingError method for generating error records. - Several Write methods that return different types of output. - Several Write methods that return different types of output. All the methods and properties of the PSCmdlet class are available to advanced functions. For more information about these methods and properties, see System.Management.Automation.PSCmdlet in the MSDN (Microsoft Developer Network) library at http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=142139. Input Processing Methods The methods described in this section are referred to as the input processing methods. For functions, these three methods are represented by the Begin, Process, and End blocks of the function. Each function must include one or more of these blocks. The Windows PowerShell runtime uses the code within these blocks when it is running a function. (These blocks are also available to functions that do not use the CmdletBinding attribute.) Begin This block is used to provide optional one-time preprocessing for the function. The Windows PowerShell runtime uses the code in this block one time for each instance of the function in the pipeline. Process This block is used to provide record-by-record processing for the function. This block might be used any number of times, or not at all, depending on the input to the function. For example, if the function is the first command in the pipeline, the Process block will be used one time. If the function is not the first command in the pipeline, the Process block is used one time for every input that the function receives from the pipeline. If there is no pipeline input, the Process block is not used. This block must be defined if a function parameter is set to accept pipeline input. If this block is not defined and the parameter accepts input from the pipeline, the function will miss the values that are passed to the function through the pipeline. Also, when the function supports confirmation requests (when the SupportsShouldProcess parameter of the Parameter attribute is set to $True), the call to the ShouldProcess method must be made from within the Process block. End This block is used to provide optional one-time post-processing for the function. The following example shows the outline of a function that contains a Begin block for one-time preprocessing, a Process block for multiple record processing, and an End block for one-time post-processing. Function Test-ScriptCmdlet { [CmdletBinding(SupportsShouldProcess=$True)] Param ($Parameter1) Begin{} Process{} End{} } Confirmation Methods ShouldProcess This method is called to request confirmation from the user before the function performs an action that would change the system. The function can continue based on the Boolean value returned by the method. This method can be called only from within the Process{} block of the function. And, the CmdletBinding attribute must declare that the function supports ShouldProcess (as shown in the previous example). For more information about this method, see System.Management.Automation.Cmdlet.ShouldProcess in the MSDN library at http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=142142. For more information about how to request confirmation, see "Requesting Confirmation" in the MSDN library at http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=136658. ShouldContinue This method is called to request a second confirmation message. It should be called when the ShouldProcess method returns $true. For more information about this method, see System.Management.Automation.Cmdlet.ShouldContinue in the MSDN library at http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=142143. Error Methods Functions can call two different methods when errors occur. When a nonterminating error occurs, the function should call the WriteError method, which is described in the "Write Methods" section. When a terminating error occurs and the function cannot continue, it should call the ThrowTerminatingError method. You can also use the Throw statement for terminating errors and the Write-Error cmdlet for nonterminating errors. For more information, see System.Management.Automation.Cmdlet. ThrowTerminatingError in the MSDN libray at http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=142144. Write Methods A function can call the following methods to return different types of output. Notice that not all the output goes to the next command in the pipeline. You can also use the various Write cmdlets, such as Write-Error. WriteCommandDetail For information about the WriteCommandDetails method, see System.Management.Automation.Cmdlet.WriteCommandDetail in the MSDN library at http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=142155. WriteDebug To provide information that can be used to troubleshoot a function, make the function call the WriteDebug method. This displays debug messages to the user. For more information, see System.Management.Automation.Cmdlet.WriteDebug in the MSDN library at http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=142156. WriteError Functions should call this method when nonterminating errors occur and the function is designed to continue processing records. For more information, see System.Management.Automation.Cmdlet.WriteError in the MSDN library at http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=142157. Note: If a terminating error occurs, the function should call the ThrowTerminatingError method. WriteObject This method allows the function to send an object to the next command in the pipeline. In most cases, this is the method to use when the function returns data. For more information, see System.Management.Automation.PSCmdlet.WriteObject in the MSDN library at http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=142158. WriteProgress For functions whose actions take a long time to complete, this method allows the function to call the WriteProgress method so that progress information is displayed. For example, you can display the percent completed. For more information, see System.Management.Automation.PSCmdlet.WriteProgress in the MSDN library at http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=142160. WriteVerbose To provide detailed information about what the function is doing, make the function call the WriteVerbose method to display verbose messages to the user. By default, verbose messages are not displayed. For more information, see System.Management.Automation.PSCmdlet.WriteVerbose in the MSDN library at http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=142162. WriteWarning To provide information about conditions that may cause unexpected results, make the function call the WriteWarning method to display warning messages to the user. By default, warning messages are displayed. For more information, see System.Management.Automation.PSCmdlet.WriteWarning in the MSDN library at http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=142164. Note: You can also display warning messages by configuring the WarningPreference variable or by using the Verbose and Debug command-line options. Other Methods and Properties For information about the other methods and properties that can be accessed through the $PSCmdlet variable, see System.Management.Automation.PSCmdlet in the MSDN library at http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=142139. For example, the ParameterSetName property allows you to see the parameter set that is being used. Parameter sets allow you to create a function that performs different tasks based on the parameters that are specified when the function is run.
