In PowerShell, which cmdlet displays the properties and methods of objects passed through the pipeline?

• A. Get-Command
• B. ForEach-Object
• C. Get-Member
• D. Select-String

Answer: (C)

Objects flowing through the PowerShell pipeline expose properties and methods, and Get-Member shows you exactly what those members are for the objects you're working with. Running a command and piping its output into Get-Member lists the type’s properties, methods, and other members, helping you understand how to interact with the object in subsequent commands. For example, Get-Process | Get-Member reveals properties like Id, ProcessName, and StartTime, along with methods you can call. The other options serve different purposes: Get-Command displays available commands rather than object metadata, ForEach-Object runs a script block for each input object, and Select-String searches text content, not object members.
