All cmdlets are presented in verb-noun pairs. The verb-noun pair is separated by a hyphen (-) without spaces, and the cmdlet nouns are always singular. The verb refers to the action that the cmdlet performs. The noun identifies the entity on which the action is performed. For example, in the Get-QCObject cmdlet name, the verb is Get and the noun is QCObject. All the Management Shell cmdlets have the nouns prefixed with QC, to distinguish the Management Shell cmdlets from those provided by PowerShell itself or by other PowerShell modules.
This section provides instructions on how to get help information for the cmdlets added by Management Shell to the Windows PowerShell environment.
