In this blog post, we will discuss Get-Member cmdlet in PowerShell. You can use cmdlet Get-Member to get properties and methods available to a cmdlet. Every cmdlet has some methods available to it which can be used to perform some action using the cmdlet. For instance, Get-Process cmdlet has a method ‘Kill’ which can be used to kill a process. Properties are the information that can be retrieved using the cmdlet. For instance, Get-Process has a property ‘Threads’ which can be used to get thread information of a process.
