Un comando Get-Verb mejorado

Una práctica recomendada para las secuencias de comandos de PowerShell, especialmente al desarrollar funciones, es seguir la convención estándar de nomenclatura verbo-sustantivo. El Verbo debe ser un valor de la lista de verbos .NET aprobados. La forma más sencilla de ver esa lista es con el cmdlet Get-Verb. El resultado también indicará el grupo o categoría de verbos como Seguridad o Ciclo de vida. Si deseaba filtrar por un grupo en particular, necesitaba utilizar una expresión Dónde-Objeto. Realmente no es tan difícil, pero decidí crear mi propia versión de Get-Verb que te permitiría especificar uno o más grupos.

Function Get-MyVerb {
<#

.SYNOPSIS
Gets approved Windows PowerShell verbs.


.DESCRIPTION
The Get-MyVerb function gets verbs that are approved for use in Windows PowerShell commands.  

Windows PowerShell recommends that cmdlet and function names have the Verb-Noun format and include an approved verb. This practice makes command names more consistent and predictable, and easier to use, especially for users who do not speak English as a first language.  

Commands that use unapproved verbs run in Windows PowerShell. However, when you import a module that includes a command with an unapproved verb in its name, the Import-Module command displays a warning message.

This command is a variation on Get-Verb that allows you to limit verbs to a category.

NOTE:   The verb list that Get-MyVerb returns might not be complete. For an updated list of approved Windows PowerShell verbs with descriptions, see "Cmdlet Verbs" in MSDN at http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=160773.

.PARAMETER GROUP
Each Windows PowerShell verb is assigned to one of the following groups. 
-- Common: Define generic actions that can apply to almost any cmdlet, such as Add.
-- Communications:  Define actions that apply to communications, such as Connect.
-- Data:  Define actions that apply to data handling, such as Backup.
-- Diagnostic: Define actions that apply to diagnostics, such as Debug.
-- Lifecycle: Define actions that apply to the lifecycle of a cmdlet, such as Complete.
-- Security: Define actions that apply to security, such as Revoke.
-- Other: Define other types of actions.

The default is everything.


.EXAMPLE

PS C:\> Get-MyVerb
Description
-----------
This command gets all approved verbs.

.EXAMPLE

PS C:\> Get-MyVerb un*

Verb                 Group
----                 -----
Undo                 Common
Unlock               Common
Unpublish            Data
Uninstall            Lifecycle
Unregister           Lifecycle
Unblock              Security
Unprotect            Security
Description
-----------
This command gets all approved verbs that begin with "un".

.EXAMPLE

PS C:\> Get-MyVerb -Group "Security"

Verb                 Group
----                 -----
Block                Security
Grant                Security
Protect              Security
Revoke               Security
Unblock              Security
Unprotect            Security

This command gets all approved verbs in the Security group.

.EXAMPLE

PS C:\> get-command -module MyModule | where { (Get-MyVerb $_.Verb) -eq $null }

This command finds all commands in a module that have unapproved verbs.

.EXAMPLE

PS C:\> $approvedVerbs = Get-MyVerb | foreach {$_.verb}

PS C:\> $myVerbs = get-command -module MyModule | foreach {$_.verb}

PS C:\> ($myVerbs | foreach {$approvedVerbs -contains $_}) -contains $false
True

Does MyModule export functions with unapproved verbs?

PS C:\>  ($myverbs | where {$approvedVerbs -notcontains $_})
ForEach
Sort
Tee
Where

These commands detect unapproved verbs in a module and tell which unapproved verbs were detected in the module.

.NOTES

Get-MyVerb returns a modified version of a Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.MemberDefinition object. The object does not have the standard properties of a MemberDefinition object. Instead it has Verb and Group properties. The Verb property contains a string with the verb name. The Group property contains a string with the verb group.

Windows PowerShell verbs are assigned to a group based on their most common use. The groups are designed to make the verbs easy to find and compare, not to restrict their use. You can use any approved verb for any type of command.

Some of the cmdlets that are installed with Windows PowerShell, such as Tee-Object and Where-Object, use unapproved verbs. These cmdlets are considered to be historic exceptions and their verbs are classified as "reserved."

La función es esencialmente un contenedor para Get-Verb. Utiliza los mismos parámetros más mi adición. La ayuda también es de Get-Verb, aunque la modifiqué ligeramente para reflejar mi versión del comando. Puede utilizar Get-MyVerb como lo haría con Get-Verb o puede especificar uno o más grupos.

La última mejora es que si ejecuta la ayuda para Get-MyVerb con -Online obtendrá la documentación de MSDN sobre los verbos .NET que detalla. Creo que te resultará útil.
