Test-UnattendedMode

   Test-UnattendedMode

SYNOPSIS

Detects if PowerShell is running in unattended/automated mode

SYNTAX

Test-UnattendedMode [[-CallersInvocation] <InvocationInfo>]
    [-Detailed] [<CommonParameters>]

DESCRIPTION

Analyzes various indicators to determine if PowerShell is running in an
unattended or automated context, including pipeline analysis, environment
variables, console redirection, and invocation context.
When CallersInvocation is provided, it analyzes the pipeline position and
count to determine if the function is being called as part of an automated
pipeline or script execution.

PARAMETERS

-CallersInvocation <InvocationInfo>
    The caller's invocation information for pipeline and automation detection.
    Pass $MyInvocation from the calling function to analyze pipeline context.
    Required?                    false
    Position?                    1
    Default value
    Accept pipeline input?       false
    Aliases
    Accept wildcard characters?  false
-Detailed [<SwitchParameter>]
    Required?                    false
    Position?                    named

    Accept pipeline input?       false
    Aliases
    Accept wildcard characters?  false
<CommonParameters>
    This cmdlet supports the common parameters: Verbose, Debug,
    ErrorAction, ErrorVariable, WarningAction, WarningVariable,
    OutBuffer, PipelineVariable, and OutVariable. For more information, see
    about_CommonParameters     (https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=113216).

NOTES

       The function combines multiple detection methods:
       - Environment variables (CI/CD systems)
       - Console redirection
       - Interactive session detection
       - PowerShell host type
       - Pipeline analysis (when CallersInvocation provided)
       - Console availability
   -------------------------- EXAMPLE 1 --------------------------
   PS C:\> Test-UnattendedMode
   Returns a boolean indicating if running in unattended mode using standard detection.
   -------------------------- EXAMPLE 2 --------------------------
