-Whatif cmdlet for powershell

Question

I have a two part question.

I am looking for the -whatif cmdlet in Powershell.
I would like to run a script without the potential to break anything and when I run with the parameter -Whatif

  Import-Module : A parameter cannot be found that matches parameter name 'whatif'.

The second part is, is there a way to list all of the cmdlets that when using the Get-Module -ListAvailable to see what cmdlets are available ?

WhatIf isn't a cmdlet, its a parameter that you build into your scripts/functions/cmdlets. Here is a link explaining what -Whatif is and how to incorporate it into your scripts — Jonathan Waring

There's also Everything you wanted to know about ShouldProcess at Microsoft Docs, and a good number of other links to discussions of ShouldProcess. — Jeff Zeitlin

For your second question: Get-Command -Module (Get-Module -ListAvailable) — Mickey Cohen

Cmdlets and commands are displayed using Get-Command

To find all commands for i.e. the Netadpter module use

Get-Command -Module Netadapter
