Get-MacInfo.psm1

#!/usr/bin/env pwsh

<#
.SYNOPSIS
This is a powershell script for macOS that replicates, or tries to, the "Get-ComputerInfo" command for Windows Powershell

.DESCRIPTION
It's not a 1:1 replication, some of it wouldn't make any sense on a Mac. Also, it does check to make sure it's running
on a mac. This pulls information from a variet of sources, including uname, sysctl, AppleScript, sw_ver, system_profiler,
and some built-in powershell functions. It shoves it all into an ordered hashtable so there's some coherency in the output.
If you run the script without any parameters, you get all the items in the hashtable. If you provide one key as a parameter,
you get the information for that key. You can provide a comma-separated list of keys and you'll get that as a result.

20221001 added code for Apple Silicon

Note: the keys labled "Intel Only" don't exist for Apple Silicon.

Current keys are:

.EXAMPLE
Get-MacInfo by itself gives you all the parameters it can output

.EXAMPLE
Get-MacInfo TimeZone gives you the current timezone for the computer

.EXAMPLE
Get-MacInfo TimeZone,FileVault status gives you the current timezone and the filevault status for the computer

.NOTES
This can be used as a Powershell module or as a standalone script.

## To do:
    #app-sso output
    #SPAudioDataType
    
function Get-MacInfo {
    #input parameter line, has to be the first executable line in the script
    param ($keys)

    #check to make sure this is running on a mac, if not, print error message and exit
    if (-Not $IsMacOS)
        {
             Write-Output "This Script only runs on macOS, exiting"
             Exit-PSSession
        }

    #since the idea of this is to create a version of Get-Computerinfo for the Mac

    #create the main hashtable that will hold all the values. This will allow for easier retreival of data
    #in a more normal powershell way. Hashtables will work well since we're going to have no repeating keys and allows us to use "normal"
    #dot notation to retrieve values.

    #even on a ten-year-old macbook pro.

    #so here, we're checking to see if there's no input parameters, which means display the entire hashtable. We're not formatting it,
    #the default is fine.

    #if there are input parameters, we use the -f formatting operator to create two columns labled "Name", and "Value", setting the first one
    #to 30 characters, which gives us some space as our longest key is only about 24 characters in width, and the value column to 100 characters
    #both columns are lef-aligned.
