<CommonParameters>
This cmdlet supports the common parameters: -Verbose, -Debug, -ErrorAction, -ErrorVariable, and -OutVariable. For more information, type, "get-help about_commonparameters".
RETURN TYPE
PathInfo Objects or StackInfo Objects
NOTES
For more information, type "Get-Help Get-Location -detailed". For technical information, type "Get-Help Get-Location -full".
When specifying multiple values for a parameter, use commas to separate the values. For example, "<parameter-name> <value1>, <value2>".
Locations can be stored on a stack and pop will access the last location on top of the stack. Push will add a location to the top of the stack.
The PSProvider, PSDrive, Stack and Stackname parameters interact in ways that depend upon the provider. Some combinations will result in errors, such as specifying both a drive and a provider that does not provide that drive. If no parameters are specified then get-location will return the PathInfo Object for the provider that contains the current working location.
EXAMPLE 1
get-location
This command displays the current working location.
EXAMPLE 2
get-location -stack
This command displays the items on the current stack. The current location is not displayed. To display the current location, run the command without the Stack parameter.
