Every good PowerShell module has a module manifest. The module manifest simply contains metadata about a PowerShell module, and doesn’t define the actual contents of the module.

The manifest file is a PowerShell script file, with a .psd1 file extension, that contains a HashTable. The HashTable in the manifest must contain specific keys, in order for PowerShell to correctly interpret it as a PowerShell module file.

The example above provides a list of the core HashTable keys that make up a module manifest, but there are many others. The New-ModuleManifest command helps you create a new module manifest skeleton.
