The cmdlets that contain the Out verb (the Out cmdlets) do not have parameters for names or file paths. To send data to an Out cmdlet, use a pipeline operator (|) to send the output of a Windows PowerShell command tothe cmdlet. You can also store data in a variable and use the InputObject* parameter to pass the data to the
cmdlet. For more information, see the examples. Out-Null does not return any output objects. If you pipe the
output of Out-Null to the Get-Member cmdlet, Get-Member * reports that no objects have been specified.
Example 1: Delete output
PS C:\>Get-ChildItem | Out-Null
This command gets the items in the local directory, but then it deletes them instead of passing them through the pipeline or displaying them at the command line. This is useful for deleting output that you do not need.RELATED LINKS
