System.Management.Automation.ParameterAttribute (class)

Attributes that can be set

The attributes of the ParameterAttribute can be displayed in PowerShell with reflection like so

foreach ($prop in ([System.Management.Automation.ParameterAttribute].DeclaredProperties | sort-object Name) ) {
   "$($prop.Name) -- $($prop.PropertyType)"
}

With this method, the following attributes are found:

ExperimentAction	ExperimentAction
ExperimentName	string	Short description (for example for a tool tip)
HelpMessage	string
HelpMessageBaseName	string
HelpMessageResourceId	string
Mandatory	bool	set to true to make parameter mandatory, otherwise, parameter is optional.
ParameterSetName	string	Name of parameter set that parameter belongs to. Default is `ParameterAttribute.AllParameterSets` which is the string `__AllParameterSets`.
Position	int	If not set, the parameter is a named parameter
ToHide	bool	?

ValueFromPipeline	bool	See this page.
ValueFromPipelineByPropertyName	bool	if `true`: objects from the pipeline with an attribute that has the same name as the parameter provide the parameter's value
