This article lists common terms used to talk about PowerShell.

A PowerShell module whose root module is a binary (.dll) file. A binary module may or may not include a module manifest.

A parameter that's added to all cmdlets, advanced functions, and workflows by the PowerShell engine.

In PowerShell, to start a command by typing a dot and a space before the command. Commands that are dot sourced run in the current scope instead of in a new scope. Any variables, aliases, functions, or drives that command creates are created in the current scope and are available to users when the command is completed.

A module that exists only in memory. The New-Module and Import-PSSession cmdlets create dynamic modules.

A parameter that's added to a PowerShell cmdlet, function, or script under certain conditions. Cmdlets, functions, providers, and scripts can add dynamic parameters.

A PowerShell XML file that has the .format.ps1xml extension and that defines how PowerShell displays an object based on its .NET Framework type.

The session state that contains the data that's accessible to the user of a PowerShell session.

The interface that the PowerShell engine uses to communicate with the user. For example, the host specifies how prompts are handled between PowerShell and the user.

A program that loads the PowerShell engine into its process and uses it to perform operations.

A method that a cmdlet can use to process the records it receives as input. The input processing methods include the BeginProcessing method, the ProcessRecord method, the EndProcessing method, and the StopProcessing method.

A PowerShell module that has a manifest and whose RootModule key is empty.

A PowerShell convenience feature to automatically enumerate items in a collection when using the member-access operator (.).

A self-contained reusable unit that allows you to partition, organize, and abstract your PowerShell code. A module can contain cmdlets, providers, functions, variables, and other types of resources that can be imported as a single unit.

A PowerShell data file (.psd1) that describes the contents of a module and that controls how a module is processed.

The session state that contains the public and private data of a PowerShell module. The private data in this session state isn't available to the user of a PowerShell session.

An error that doesn't stop PowerShell from continuing to process the command. See also, terminating error.

The word that follows the hyphen in a PowerShell cmdlet name. The noun describes the resources upon which the cmdlet acts.

A group of parameters that can be used in the same command to perform a specific action.

In PowerShell, to send the results of the preceding command as input to the next command in the pipeline.

A series of commands connected by pipeline operators (|). Each pipeline operator sends the results of the preceding command as input to the next command.

A single command that participates in the pipeline semantics of PowerShell. This includes binary (C#) cmdlets, advanced script functions, CDXML, and Workflows.

The elements in a pipeline that cause an action to be carried out. PowerShell commands are either typed at the keyboard or invoked programmatically.

A text file that has the .psd1 file extension. PowerShell uses data files for various purposes such as storing module manifest data and storing translated strings for script internationalization.

A virtual drive that provides direct access to a data store. It can be defined by a PowerShell provider or created at the command line. Drives created at the command line are session-specific drives and are lost when the session is closed.

A Microsoft .NET Framework-based program that makes the data in a specialized data store available in PowerShell so that you can view and manage it.

A type of PowerShell session that's created, managed, and closed by the user.

The module specified in the RootModule key in a module manifest.

In PowerShell, the operating environment in which each command in a pipeline is executed.

In PowerShell, a scalar value is any value type that is not enumerable. This includes the .NET primitive types, such as booleans and numbers, and other value types such as String, DateTime and Guid.

For a list of .NET primitive types, see the Remarks section of System.Type.IsPrimitive Property.

In the PowerShell programming language, a collection of statements or expressions that can be used as a single unit. A script block can accept arguments and return values.

A file that has the .ps1 extension and contains a script written in the PowerShell language.

A PowerShell module whose root module is a script module (.psm1) file. A script module may include a module manifest. The script defines the members that the script module exports.

The command interpreter that's used to pass commands to the operating system.

A parameter that doesn't take an argument. The value of a switch parameter defaults to $false. When a switch parameter is used, its value becomes $true.

An error that stops PowerShell from processing the command. See also, non-terminating error.

An atomic unit of work. The work in a transaction must be completed as a whole. If any part of the transaction fails, the entire transaction fails.

A PowerShell XML file that has the .types.ps1xml extension and that extends the properties of Microsoft .NET Framework types in PowerShell.

The word that precedes the hyphen in a PowerShell cmdlet name. The verb describes the action that the cmdlet performs.

The Integrated Scripting Environment (ISE) - A Windows PowerShell host application that enables you to run commands and to write, test, and debug scripts in a friendly, syntax-colored, Unicode-compliant environment.

A resource that defines a set of cmdlets, providers, and Microsoft .NET Framework types that can be added to the Windows PowerShell environment. PowerShell snap-ins have been replaced by modules.

A workflow is a sequence of programmed, connected steps that perform long-running tasks or require the coordination of multiple steps across multiple devices or managed nodes. Windows PowerShell Workflow lets IT pros and developers author sequences of multi-device management activities, or single tasks within a workflow, as workflows. Windows PowerShell Workflow lets you adapt and run both PowerShell scripts and XAML files as workflows. Windows PowerShell Workflow is built on the Windows Workflow Foundation, which has been deprecated.
