PowerShell Parameter only in Get-Help

Question

When I run get-help get-process -detailed I get the full help. What would I run if I just wanted to know what the get-process -id parameter does? Is there a way to drill down like that?

yes, use the -Parameter flag

> Get-Help Get-Process -Parameter id

The parameter flag can also use wildcards. To see help on all parameters

> Get-Help Get-Process -Parameter *

Just so you're aware you can do a Get-Help on Get-Help.

> Get-Help Get-Help -detailed

Hope that helps
