    Optional Items

    Brackets ([]) surround optional items. For example, in the New-Alias


    cmdlet syntax description, the Scope parameter is optional. This is
    indicated in the syntax by the brackets around the parameter name
    and type:
    [-Scope <string>]

    Both the following examples are correct uses of the New-Alias cmdlet:
    New-Alias -Name utd -Value Update-TypeData
    New-Alias -Name utd -Value Update-TypeData -Scope global

    A parameter name can be optional even if the value for that parameter is
    required. This is indicated in the syntax by the brackets around the
    parameter name but not the parameter type, as in this example from the
    New-Alias cmdlet:
    [-Name] <string> [-Value] <string>

    The following commands correctly use the New-Alias cmdlet. The commands
    produce the same result:
    New-Alias -Name utd -Value Update-TypeData
    New-Alias -Name utd Update-TypeData
    New-Alias utd -Value Update-TypeData
    New-Alias utd Update-TypeData

    If the parameter name is not included in the statement as typed, Windows


    PowerShell tries to use the position of the arguments to assign the
    values to parameters.

    The following example is not complete:


    New-Alias utd

    This cmdlet requires values for both the Name and Value parameters.

    In syntax examples, brackets are also used in naming and casting to


    .NET Framework types. In this context, brackets do not indicate an
    element is optional.

    Array Arguments
    Brackets are also used in syntax descriptions to represent an array.
    The following example shows the syntax for the Restart-Service cmdlet:
    Restart-Service [-Name] <string[]> [-Include <string[]>]
    [-Exclude <string[]>] [-Force] [-PassThru] [-Confirm] [-WhatIf]
    [<CommonParameters>]

    The Name parameter requires an argument. Specifically, it requires the


    name of the service to be restarted. It can take a comma-separated list
    of services, as in the following example:
    Restart-Service RasAuto, RasMan, RemoteAccess
