Windows PowerShell command on Get-command Write-Verbose

NAME

Write-Verbose

SYNOPSIS

Writes text to the verbose message stream.

SYNTAX

Write-Verbose [-Message] []

DESCRIPTION

The Write-Verbose cmdlet writes text to the verbose message stream in Windows PowerShell. Typically, the verbose

message stream is used to deliver information about command processing that is used for debugging a command. By default, the verbose message stream is not displayed, but you can display it by changing the value of the

$VerbosePreference variable or using the Verbose common parameter in any command.

PARAMETERS

-Message

Specifies the message to display. This parameter is required. You can also pipe a message string to

Write-Verbose .

Required? true Position? 0 Default value None Accept pipeline input? True (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 a string that contains the message to Write-Verbose .

OUTPUTS

None

Write-Verbose writes only to the verbose message stream.

NOTES

Verbose messages are returned only when the command uses the Verbose * common parameter. For more information,

see about_CommonParameters (http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=113216). In Windows PowerShell background

jobs and remote commands, the $VerbosePreference variable in the job session and remote session determine

whether the verbose message is displayed by default. For more information about the $VerbosePreference *

variable, see about_Preference_Variables (http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=113248).

Example 1: Write a status message

PS C:\>Write-Verbose -Message "Searching the Application Event Log."

PS C:\>Write-Verbose -Message "Searching the Application Event Log." -Verbose

These commands use the Write-Verbose cmdlet to display a status message. By default, the message is not displayed.

The second command uses the Verbose common parameter, which displays any verbose messages, regardless of the value

of the $VerbosePreference variable.

Example 2: Set $VerbosePreference and write a status message

PS C:\>$VerbosePreference = "Continue"

PS C:\>Write-Verbose "Copying file $filename"

These commands use the Write-Verbose cmdlet to display a status message. By default, the message is not displayed.

The first command assigns a value of Continue to the $VerbosePreference preference variable. The default value,

SilentlyContinue, suppresses verbose messages. The second command writes a verbose message.
