Command

Get-PowerShellAssemblyMetadata

Module PSPublishModule

Inputs

None

Gets the cmdlets and aliases in a .NET assembly by scanning for cmdlet-related attributes.

Syntax

Get-PowerShellAssemblyMetadata -Path <String> [<CommonParameters>]

Parameter set: All Parameter Sets

Description

This is typically used by module build tooling to determine which cmdlets and aliases should be exported for binary modules (compiled cmdlets).

The cmdlet delegates scanning to a typed PowerForge service so the metadata logic can be reused outside the PowerShell surface.

Examples

Inspect an assembly in a build artifact folder

Get-PowerShellAssemblyMetadata -Path 'C:\Artifacts\MyModule\Bin\MyModule.dll'

-Path String required: The assembly to inspect.
