Command Processor Shell (Windows CE 5.0)

Feedback

Send Feedback

For many devices, Microsoft® Windows® CE includes a command processor shell (Cmd.exe) that is similar to Command.com in Windows 95 and Cmd.exe in Microsoft Windows NT®. This also includes devices without a display that may be running the optional telnet server, which uses the console as its command processor backend.

The command processor shell is a command-line-driven shell that provides console input and output, and a limited number of commands.

The following line shows the syntax for calling the command processor shell.

CMD [[/C | /K] string]

Parameters

  • /C
    Carries out the command specified by string and then exits the command processor shell.
  • /K
    Carries out the command specified by string but allows the command process shell to remain active.
  • string
    Specifies a command that you want to run. The supported commands can be found in theCommand Processor Commands topic.

Remarks

To obtain help with using the command processor, typehelp cmd at the prompt.

Windows CE allows you to write simple batch (.bat) files that use any of the supported commands.

You can redirect standard input or standard output data from or to a file respectively by using the less than (<) or greater than (>) characters. You can pipe data to another command by using the pipe (|) character.

The syntax of the command line supported by the command processor is as follows.

COMMAND [OPTIONS] [[2]>[>] file1] [<file2] [{&, |} COMMAND...]

The following table describes the different elements of the command line.

ElementDescription
COMMANDSpecifies the name of the command that you want to execute.
OPTIONSSpecifies any parameters that you want to use for the command. For more information about the parameters available for each command, see the documentation for the command that you want to use.

2>>Appends error output of a program to a file.
<Reads text input of a command or program from a file.
&Separates two or more commands executed sequentially.
|Separates two or more commands, but output of all commands except the last is sent as the input for the subsequent command.
file1Specifies the name of a file that receives the output of the command.
file2Specifies the name of a file provides the input for the command.

Note   The Windows CE command processor does not support redirection in between command line arguments. Characters that redirect input or output should appear after all of the arguments in the command line.
