<p>June Blender writing for <a href="https://blogs.technet.microsoft.com/heyscriptingguy/2015/07/04/weekend-scripter-welcome-to-the-powershell-information-stream/">Hey, Scripting Guy! Blog</a>:</p>
|
|
|
|
<blockquote>
|
|
<p>The dilemma was how to fix the harmful aspects of Write-Host (can't suppress,
|
|
capture, or redirect), but keep it from polluting the output stream. And of
|
|
course, the solution must be backward compatible.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>This most elegant solution is provided by the information stream and the
|
|
Write-Information cmdlet. The information stream is a new output stream that
|
|
works much like the error and warning streams.</p>
|
|
</blockquote>
|
|
|
|
<p>The information stream is a feature of powershell versions 5.x that I missed
|
|
when it came out. Thus I have been avoiding using Write-Host in favour of
|
|
Write-Verbose since reading about <a href="http://www.jsnover.com/blog/2013/12/07/write-host-considered-harmful/">Write-Host Considered Harmful</a>.</p>
