Sometimes when I code Powershell I find small trinkets I wish too remember, so I’m gonna save them here.
This is a well, small PS variable list for me, with links to articles about them.
| Variable | Description | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| $PSVersionTable.PSVersion | Powershell version | if it is missing | then PS = 1.0 |
| $PSCmdlet.ParameterSetName | If using parameterSets with function | this will have which set was used. | |
| $MyInvocation.MyCommand.Name | Returns the current functions name. | ||
| $PSBoundParameters['Verbose'] | Will be true if function is called with -Verbose | ||
| $PSBoundParameters['Debug'] | Will be true if function is called with -Debug |
Useful functions from .NET

| [io.path]::GetTempFileName() | Returns a temporaryfile name in the tempdirectory of the current user |
