Accept pipeline input: True (ByPropertyName)
Accept wildcard characters: False

-PassThru

Returns structured canonical-order results instead of a Boolean.

Type: SwitchParameter
Parameter Sets: (All)
Aliases:

Required: False
Position: Named
Default value: False
Accept pipeline input: False
Accept wildcard characters: False

-Path

One or more filesystem paths. Wildcards are expanded by the FileSystem provider, and path strings can be supplied through the pipeline.

Type: String
Parameter Sets: (All)
