public class SetContentCommand : Cmdlet

Remarks

This verb is paired with Get. For consistency with other cmdlets that perform the same action, do not use verbs such as Write, Reset, Assign, or Configure for this action.

The verb portion of a cmdlet name specifies the action that is taken by the cmdlet and is specified by the Cmdlet attribute. For more information about the declaration syntax that is used to specify the Cmdlet attribute, see Cmdlet Attribute Declaration.

For more information about the guidelines for selecting verb names, see Cmdlet Verb Names.
