Parameters

assembly

Type: System.ReflectionAssembly
The assembly to search for the shell command.

commandName

Type: SystemString
The name of the command.

args

Type: SystemString
The arguments to the shell command.

index

Type: SystemInt32
The index in args at which to start parsing the arguments.

Return Value

If the command could not be found, a list of possible commands is written to the standard output stream. If an error occurs parsing the command's arguments, the error message is written to the standard error stream, and the shell command's usage information is written to the standard output stream.

Line wrapping at word boundaries is applied to the output, wrapping at the console's window width. When the console output is redirected to a file, Microsoft .Net will still report the console's actual window width, but on Mono the value of the WindowWidth property will be 0. In that case, the usage information will not be wrapped.

This method indents additional lines for the usage syntax, argument descriptions and command descriptions, unless the WindowWidth property is less than 31.
