Windows PowerShell command on Get-command Get-PSSnapin

NAME
    Get-PSSnapin
    
SYNOPSIS
    Gets the Windows PowerShell snap-ins on the computer.
    
    
SYNTAX
    Get-PSSnapin [[-Name] ] [-Registered] []
    
    
DESCRIPTION
    The Get-PSSnapin cmdlet gets the Windows PowerShell snap-ins that have been added to the current session or that 
    have been registered on the system. This cmdlet lists the snap-ins in the order in which they are detected. 
    Get-PSSnapin gets only registered snap-ins. To register a Windows PowerShell snap-in, use the InstallUtil tool 
    included with the Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0. For more information, see How to Register Cmdlets, Providers, and 
    Host Applicationshttp://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=143619 (http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=143619) in 
    the Microsoft Developer Network (MSDN) library.
    
    Starting in Windows PowerShell 3.0, the core commands that are included in Windows PowerShell are packaged in 
    modules. The exception is Microsoft.PowerShell.Core , which is a snap-in (PSSnapin). By default, only the 
    Microsoft.PowerShell.Core snap-in is added to the session. Modules are imported automatically on first use and you 
    can use the Import-Module cmdlet to import them.

NOTES
    
    
        Starting in Windows PowerShell 3.0, the core commands that are installed with Windows PowerShell are packaged 
        in modules. In Windows PowerShell 2.0, and in host programs that create older-style sessions in later versions 
        of Windows PowerShell, the core commands are packaged in snap-ins ( PSSnapin ). The exception is 
        Microsoft.PowerShell.Core *, which is always a snap-in. Also, remote sessions, such as those started by the 
        New-PSSession cmdlet, are older-style sessions that include core snap-ins.
        
        For information about the CreateDefault2 method that creates newer-style sessions with core modules, see 
        CreateDefault2 Methodhttp://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/system.management.automation.runsp
        aces.initialsessionstate.createdefault2(v=VS.85).aspx (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/
        system.management.automation.runspaces.initialsessionstate.createdefault2(v=VS.85).aspx) in the MSDN library.
    
    Example 1: Get snap-ins that are currently loaded
    
    PS C:\>Get-PSSnapIn
    
    This command gets the Windows PowerShell snap-ins that are currently loaded in the session. This includes the 
    snap-ins that are installed with Windows PowerShell and those that have been added to the session.
    Example 2: Get snap-ins that have been registered
    
    PS C:\>get-PSSnapIn -Registered
    
    This command gets the Windows PowerShell snap-ins that have been registered on the computer, including those that 
    have already been added to the session. The output does not include snap-ins that are installed with Windows 
    PowerShell or Windows PowerShell snap-in dynamic-link libraries (DLLs) that have not yet been registered on the 
    system.
    Example 3: Get current snap-ins that match a string
    
    PS C:\>Get-PSSnapIn -Name smp*
    
    This command gets the Windows PowerShell snap-ins in the current session that have names that begin with smp.
