PowerShell snap-ins provides a mechanism for registering sets of cmdlets and another Windows PowerShell provider with the shell. May also refer to the PSSnapIn base class.

A Windows PowerShell snap-in provides a mechanism for registering sets of cmdlets and another Windows PowerShell provider with the shell, thus extending the functionality of the shell. A Windows PowerShell snap-in can register all the cmdlets and providers in a single assembly, or it can register a specific list of cmdlets and providers.

All Windows PowerShell snap-in classes derive from the PSSnapIn or CustomPSSnapIn classes.
