CMD, also known as Command Prompt, is the command-line interpreter for Windows operating systems. It provides a text-based interface where users can execute commands to perform various system tasks, such as file management, network configuration, and application execution.
CMD is essential for automating repetitive tasks through batch scripting, allowing for efficient system administration and troubleshooting.
Beyond basic command execution, CMD enables users to create and run batch files (.bat), which are scripts that automate sequences of commands. This functionality is particularly useful for system administrators and power users aiming to streamline workflows and enhance productivity.
By leveraging CMD, users gain deeper control over their system operations, facilitating advanced configurations and maintenance tasks.
