Synopsis
Searches for cmdlets that invoke a Amazon Web Services service operation, map to an AWS CLI command, or lists all cmdlets that belong to a service identified by one or more words in its name or its cmdlet noun prefix. If no service name or pattern is given all service cmdlets are output.
Syntax
QueryApiOperationOrService (Default)
Get-AWSCmdletName-ApiOperation <String>-MatchWithRegex <SwitchParameter>-Service <String>FromAwsCliCommand
Get-AWSCmdletName-AwsCliCommand <String>
Description
Returns the name of the cmdlet that invokes a named Amazon Web Services service operation, optionally restricting the scope of the search to a specific service which can be identified using one or more words from the service name or the prefix applied to the nouns of cmdlets belonging to the service.
Returns the names and corresponding service operations for a specific Amazon Web Services service which can be identified using one or more words from the service name or the prefix applied to the nouns of cmdlets belonging to the service.
Returns the name of the cmdlet that is the equivalent to an AWS CLI command. In this mode a best-effort is made to extract the service and operation name data from the CLI command using known naming conventions and position rules used by the AWS CLI.
If no match is made, no data is output. If the service cannot be identified, an error is displayed.
Parameters
-ApiOperation <String>
The name of the service operation (api) to search for. If not further restricted by service prefix or service name, all cmdlets across all services are inspected for a matching operation.By default the value supplied for this parameter is treated as a simple whole-word pattern to match. If the -MatchWithRegex switch is set the value is used as a regular expression. In both cases the search is case-insensitive/invariant culture.
| Required? | False |
| Position? | 1 |
| Accept pipeline input? | True (ByValue, ) |
-AwsCliCommand <String>
The AWS CLI command to match. For example 'aws ec2 describe-instances'. The cmdlet will make a best-effort to identify the owning service and the operation name by parsing the command using known conventions for the AWS CLI command format. The 'aws' prefix may be omitted and any AWS CLI options (identified by the prefix characters --) are skipped when parsing the value to identify the service code and operation name elements.
| Required? | False |
| Position? | Named |
| Accept pipeline input? | False |
-MatchWithRegex <SwitchParameter>
If set, the value supplied for the ApiOperation parameter is assumed to be a regular expression. By default, the value supplied for ApiOperation is treated as a simple case-insensitive whole-word pattern to match (the cmdlet will surround the ApiOperation value with ^ and $ tokens automatically). If the switch is set no modification of the supplied value is performed.
| Required? | False |
| Position? | Named |
| Accept pipeline input? | False |
-Service <String>
Restricts the search to the cmdlets belonging to services that match the full or partial term supplied to the parameter value, which can be the service prefix (for example 'EC2') or one or more terms from the service name (for example 'compute' or 'compute cloud').When partial names are used (as opposed to a prefix code) all services for which a match can be found are used to assist in the cmdlet results. A regular expression can always be supplied for the parameter value.If this is the only parameter supplied to the cmdlet, the output will list all of the cmdlets belonging to the services matching the search term, together with the corresponding service operation names. Note that for services with 'helper' cmdlets that do not invoke a particular service operation the ServiceOperation member for the cmdlet in the resulting output is left blank.
| Required? | False |
| Position? | Named |
| Accept pipeline input? | False |
Inputs
You can pipe a String object to this cmdlet for the ApiOperation parameter.
Outputs
PSObject
A collection of zero or more objects listing cmdlets that implement the specified operation, map to the AWS CLI command or belong to the specified service.
