Trace-Command

Description
Trace an expression or command

Usage


Options


Example(s)
Start a trace of the "get-process notepad" expression using the defaults: "All" for tracing and "None" for the listener option:

PS C:\>Trace-Command -name metadata,parameterbinding,cmdlet -expression {get -process notepad} -pshost

Trace the actions of the ParameterBinding operations of PowerShell while it processes a Get-Alias expression:

PS C:\>$a = "i*"
trace-command -name parameterbinding {get-alias $input} -pshost -inputobject $a

The -InputObject parameter passes the variable $a to the expression.
In effect, the command being processed during the trace is "get-alias -inputobject $a"
