Required Parameters
Specifies a path to the item property. In contrast to the Path parameter, the value of LiteralPath is used exactly as it is typed. No characters are interpreted as wildcards. If the path includes escape characters, enclose it in single quotation marks.
| Type: | String[] |
| Aliases: | PSPath |
| Position: | Named |
| Default value: | None |
| Accept pipeline input: | True (ByPropertyName) |
| Accept wildcard characters: | False |
Specifies the name of the property or properties to retrieve.
| Type: | String[] |
| Aliases: | PSProperty |
| Position: | 2 |
| Default value: | None |
| Accept pipeline input: | False |
| Accept wildcard characters: | False |
Optional Parameters
Specifies a user account that has permission to perform this action. The default is the current user. Type a user name, such as User01 or Domain01\User01, or enter a PSCredential object, such as one generated by the Get-Credential cmdlet. If you type a user name, you are prompted for a password. This parameter is not supported by any providers that are installed with Windows PowerShell.
| Type: | PSCredential |
| Position: | Named |
| Default value: | None |
| Accept pipeline input: | True (ByPropertyName) |
| Accept wildcard characters: | False |
Specifies, as a string array, an item or items that this cmdlet excludes from the operation.
| Type: | String[] |
| Position: | Named |
| Default value: | None |
| Accept pipeline input: | False |
| Accept wildcard characters: | False |
Specifies a filter in the provider's format or language. The value of this parameter qualifies the Path parameter. The syntax of the filter, including the use of wildcard characters, depends on the provider. Filters are more efficient than other parameters, because the provider applies them when the cmdlet gets the objects rather than having Windows PowerShell filter the objects after they are retrieved.

Notes
- This cmdlet is designed to work with the data exposed by any provider. To list the providers available in your session, run the Get-PSProvider cmdlet. For more information, see about_Providers.
