Controller is the base class of console command classes.

A console controller consists of one or several actions known as sub-commands. Users call a console command by specifying the corresponding route which identifies a controller action. The yii program is used when calling a console command, like the following:

yii <route> [--param1=value1 --param2 ...]

where <route> is a route to a controller action and the params will be populated as properties of a command. See options() for details.
