JScript

OutputTypeAttribute(System.Compiler.TypeNode[], ProviderCmdlet="Get-Item") 
OutputTypeAttribute(System.Compiler.TypeNode[], ProviderCmdlet="Resolve-Path") 
OutputTypeAttribute(System.Compiler.TypeNode[], ProviderCmdlet="Push-Location") 
OutputTypeAttribute(System.Compiler.TypeNode[], ProviderCmdlet="Get-ChildItem")

Remarks

Providers are used to access data and components that would not otherwise be accessible at the command line. The data accessed is presented in a consistent format that resembles a file system drive.

Cmdlets use the Certificate provider to access all the defined X509 certificates that are used for digital signatures. For Help at the command line, type:

get-help about_provider
