Export-FormatData

Short description
Saves formatting data from the current session in a formatting file.

Syntax


Description
The Export-FormatData cmdlet creates Windows PowerShell formatting files (format.ps1xml) from the formatting objects 
in the current session. It takes the ExtendedTypeDefinition objects that Get-FormatData returns and saves them in a 
file in XML format.


Windows PowerShell uses the data in formatting files (format.ps1xml) to generate the default display of Microsoft .NET 
Framework objects in the session. You can view and edit the formatting files and use the Update-FormatData cmdlet to 
add the formatting data to a session.
