Description
----------- This example shows how to use Get-FormatData and Export-FormatData to export the formatting data that is added by a module. The first four commands use the Get-FormatData, Import-Module, and Compare-Object cmdlets to identify the format type that the BitsTransfer module adds to the session. The fifth command uses the Get-FormatData cmdlet to get the format type that the BitsTransfer module adds. It uses a pipeline operator (|) to send the format type object to the Export-FormatData cmdlet, which converts it back to XML and saves it in the specified format.ps1xml file. The final command shows an excerpt of the format.ps1xml file content.
