Command lines offer a text based way to interact directly with the operating system, making it possible to handle tasks like system administration, software development, automation, troubleshooting, and remote access. They allow you to manage files, navigate directories, run programs, and adjust system settings using simple text commands. Examples of command line functions include:

Help – Display a list of available commands and their descriptions.

Help commandname – Display a description of a specific command.

Command/? – Display a command’s syntax and parameters/options

Cls – Clear the command-prompt window

Exit – Close the command-prompt window

Md – Create a directory

Rd – Delete files

Copy – Copy files from one location to another

Xcopy – Copy files, directories, and subdirectories
