# Command style

For ease of use, HyperDbg uses the same command-style as Windbg, which means there are different kinds of commands in HyperDbg.

‌In HyperDbg we have 3 types of commands , "**regular**", "**meta**", "**extension**".

‌**Regular commands**, e.g., "test", apply to the debugging session. These are the ones controlling and getting information from the debugging target.

‌**Meta commands** are prefixed with a dot, e.g., ".test". Meta commands apply to the debugger itself, meaning that these commands are the ones controlling the debugger itself, not the debugging target.

‌**Extension commands** are prefixed with an exclamation mark, e.g. "!test", which is defined in debugger extensions and features.

‌Here is a full example of a command with a detailed description of each field used in documentation.

### Command Parameters

HyperDbg uses a static approach for naming the parameter in the debugger help command and the documentation. Here's a brief of how to interpret each field.

Imagine we have the following parameter:

**\[pid ProcessId (hex)] (optional)**

Each word which **lower case** should strictly come after the command. Each word with the **capital case** is the parameter's name in which its type is also mentioned between two parentheses.

If the **(optional)** word is mentioned after the parameter, it is optional, and you can omit it.

```
!test pid 1240
```

Another example,

**\[default]**

As you can see, the default is started with **lower case**, so we should use the command with the `default` keyword.

```
!test default
```

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.hyperdbg.org/contribution/style-guide/command-style.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
