Appendix B. Cmdlet Naming
The cmdlets installed with Windows PowerShell all follow a standard naming convention. In general, they use a verb–noun pair. For example, there are four commands that start with the verb add. "Add what?" you may ask. This is where the noun comes into play: Add-Content, Add-History, Add-Member, and Add-PSSnapin. When creating cmdlets, you should endeavor to follow the same kind of naming convention. The recognition of this naming convention is helpful in learning the cmdlets that come with Windows PowerShell.
