Get-FormatData

Short description
Gets the formatting data in the current session.

Syntax


Description
The Get-FormatData cmdlet gets the formatting data in the current session.


The formatting data in the session includes formatting data from Format.ps1xml formatting files (such as those in the 
$pshome directory), formatting data for modules that you import into the session, and formatting data for commands 
that you import into your session by using the Import-PSSession cmdlet.


You can use this cmdlet to examine the formatting data. Then, you can use the Export-FormatData cmdlet to serialize 
the objects (convert them to XML) and save them in Format.ps1xml files.


For more information about formatting files in Windows PowerShell, see about_Format.ps1xml.
