Windows PowerShell command on Get-command Test-ModuleManifest

NAME
    Test-ModuleManifest
    
SYNOPSIS
    Verifies that a module manifest file accurately describes the contents of a module.
    
    
SYNTAX
    Test-ModuleManifest [-Path]  []
    
    
DESCRIPTION
    The Test-ModuleManifest cmdlet verifies that the files that are listed in the module manifest (.psd1) file are 
    actually in the specified paths.
    
    This cmdlet is designed to help module authors test their manifest files. Module users can also use this cmdlet in 
    scripts and commands to detect errors before they run scripts that depend on the module. Test-ModuleManifest 
    returns an object that represents the module. This is the same type of object that Get-Module returns. If any 
    files are not in the locations specified in the manifest, the cmdlet also generates an error for each missing file.
    

PARAMETERS
    -Path 
        Specifies a path and file name for the manifest file. Enter an optional path and name of the module manifest 
        file that has the .psd1 file name extension. The default location is the current directory. Wildcard 
        characters are supported, but must resolve to a single module manifest file. This parameter is required. You 
        can also pipe a path to Test-ModuleManifest .
        
        Required?                    true
        Position?                    0
        Default value                None
        Accept pipeline input?       True (ByPropertyName, ByValue)
        Accept wildcard characters?  false
        
    
        This cmdlet supports the common parameters: Verbose, Debug,
        ErrorAction, ErrorVariable, WarningAction, WarningVariable,
        OutBuffer, PipelineVariable, and OutVariable. For more information, see 
        about_CommonParameters (https:/go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=113216). 
    
INPUTS
    System.String
        You can pipe the path to a module manifest to this cmdlet.
    
    
OUTPUTS
    System.Management.Automation.PSModuleInfo
        This cmdlet returns a PSModuleInfo object that represents the module. It returns this object even if the 
        manifest has errors.
    
    
NOTES
    
    
        
    
    Example 1: Test a manifest
    
    PS C:\>test-ModuleManifest -Path "$pshome\Modules\TestModule.psd1"
    
    This command tests the TestModule.psd1 module manifest.
    Example 2: Test a manifest by using the pipeline
    
    PS C:\>"$pshome\Modules\TestModule.psd1" | test-modulemanifest
    Test-ModuleManifest : The specified type data file 'C:\Windows\System32\Wi
    ndowsPowerShell\v1.0\Modules\TestModule\TestTypes.ps1xml' could not be processed because the file was not found. 
    Please correct the path and try again.

    + CategoryInfo          : ResourceUnavailable:

    Name              : TestModule
    Path              : C:\Windows\system32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\Modules\TestModule\TestModule.psd1
    Description       : 
    Guid              : 6f0f1387-cd25-4902-b7b4-22cff6aefa7b
    Version           : 1.0
    ModuleBase        : C:\Windows\system32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\Modules\TestModule
    ModuleType        : Manifest
    PrivateData       : 
    AccessMode        : ReadWrite
    ExportedAliases   : {}
    ExportedCmdlets   : {}
    ExportedFunctions : {}
    ExportedVariables : {}NestedModules     : {}
    
    This command uses a pipeline operator (|) to send a path string to Test-ModuleManifest .
    
    The command output shows that the test failed, because the TestTypes.ps1xml file, which was listed in the 
    manifest, was not found.
    Example 3: Write a function to test a module manifest
    
    PS C:\>function Test-ManifestBool ($path)
    {$a = dir $path | Test-ModuleManifest -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue $?}
    
    This function is like Test-ModuleManifest , but it returns a Boolean value. The function returns $True if the 
    manifest passed the test and $False otherwise.
    
    The function uses the Get-ChildItem cmdlet, alias = dir, to get the module manifest specified by the $path 
    variable. The command uses a pipeline operator (|) to pass the file object to Test-ModuleManifest . 
    Test-ModuleManifest uses the ErrorAction common parameter with a value of SilentlyContinue to suppress the display 
    of any errors that the command generates. It also saves the PSModuleInfo object that Test-ModuleManifest returns 
    in the $a variable. Therefore, the object is not displayed.
    
    Then, in a separate command, the function displays the value of the $? automatic variable. If the previous command 
    generates no error, the command displays $True, and $False otherwise.
    
    You can use this function in conditional statements, such as those that might precede an Import-Module command or 
    a command that uses the module.
