Write-Output - PowerShell command help and examples

Sends the specified objects to the next command in the pipeline. If the command is the last command in the pipeline, the objects are displayed in the console. (Write-Output)


NAME
Write-Output
SYNOPSIS
Sends the specified objects to the next command in the pipeline. If the command is the last command in the pipeline, the objects are displayed in the console.
SYNTAX
Write-Output [-InputObject] <PSObject[]> [<CommonParameters>]
DESCRIPTION
The Write-Output cmdlet sends the specified object down the pipeline to the next command. If the command is the last command in the pipeline, the object is displayed in the console. Write-Output sends objects down the primary pipeline, also known as the "output stream" or the "success pipeline." To send error objects down the error pipeline, use Write-Error. This cmdlet is typically used in scripts to display strings and other objects on the console. However, because the default behavior is to display the objects at the end of a pipeline, it is generally not necessary to use the cmdlet. For example, "get-process | write-output" is equivalent to "get-process".
PARAMETERS
-InputObject <PSObject[]> Specifies the objects to send down the pipeline. Enter a variable that contains the objects, or type a command or expression that gets the objects. Required? true Position? 1 Default value Accept pipeline input? true (ByValue) Accept wildcard characters? false <CommonParameters> This cmdlet supports the common parameters: Verbose, Debug, ErrorAction, ErrorVariable, WarningAction, WarningVariable, OutBuffer and OutVariable. For more information, type, "get-help about_commonparameters".
INPUTS

OUTPUTS
