Class yii\console\Controller
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.
