Export-ModuleMember

Short description
Specifies the module members that are exported.

Syntax


Description
The Export-ModuleMember cmdlet specifies the module members (such as cmdlets, functions, variables, and aliases) that a
re exported from a script module (.psm1) file, or from a dynamic module created by using the New-Module cmdlet. This cm
dlet can be used only in a script module file or a dynamic module.


If a script module does not include an Export-ModuleMember command, the functions in the script module are exported, bu
t the variables and aliases are not. When a script module includes Export-ModuleMember commands, only the members speci
fied in the Export-ModuleMember commands are exported. You can also use Export-ModuleMember to suppress or export membe
rs that the script module imports from other modules.


An Export-ModuleMember command is optional, but it is a best practice. Even if the command confirms the default values,
 it demonstrates the intention of the module author.
