Get-NsxtService

This cmdlet retrieves PSObject objects that represent a proxy to a NSX-T API service and can be used to invoke the operations of the NSX-T API service. The cmdlet returns one PSObject object for every service available on NSX-T server.Every service proxy has a top-level Help property that contains documentation about the service's methods, parameters, constants, and so on. The Help object is hierarchical and mirrors the service's methods, parameters, constants, and so on. The Help object can also be used for creation of parameters that the service methods accept through a method named "Create".The "Create" method is available for the following objects:- A parameter.- Inheritors of a parameter that accepts instances of types that derive the declared parameter type.- Elements of a parameter that is of type List, Set or Optional.- Key and Value of a parameter of type Map.- Fields of a parameter of type Structure.For more information, see Example 2.
