briantist / Validate-MandatoryOptionalParameters.ps1
Last active June 17, 2016 21:38
<#
.SYNOPSIS
Checks parameters of a specific command for parameters that should have a value but are not Mandatory.
.DESCRIPTION
If a parameter is not marked as Mandatory but the intention is for a value to be supplied, this function
will look for an alias that begins with the string "Required_". If such an alias is found and the
parameter is not bound, this function will throw an exception or set a breakpoint depending on the
options supplied.
