-------------------------- EXAMPLE 1 --------------------------
PS C:\>Set-TraceSource -Name Parameterbinding -Option ExecutionFlow -PSHost -ListenerOption "ProcessID,TimeStamp"
This command starts tracing for the ParameterBinding component of Windows PowerShell. It uses the Name parameter to specify the trace source, the Option parameter to
select the ExecutionFlow trace events, and the PSHost parameter to select the Windows PowerShell host listener, which sends the output to the console. The ListenerOpt
ion parameter adds the "ProcessID" and "TimeStamp" values to the trace message prefix.
-------------------------- EXAMPLE 2 --------------------------
PS C:\>set-tracesource -name ParameterBinding -RemoveListener Host
This command stops the trace of the ParameterBinding component of Windows PowerShell. It uses the Name parameter to identify the component that was being traced and t
he RemoveListener parameter to identify the trace listener.
