function Get-DbaStartupParameter {
    <#
    .SYNOPSIS
        Displays values for a detailed list of SQL Server Startup Parameters.
 
    .DESCRIPTION
        Displays values for a detailed list of SQL Server Startup Parameters including Master Data Path, Master Log path, Error Log, Trace Flags, Parameter String and much more.
 
        This command relies on remote Windows Server (SQL WMI/WinRm) access. You can pass alternative Windows credentials by using the -Credential parameter.
 
        See https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms190737.aspx for more information.
 
    .PARAMETER SqlInstance
        The target SQL Server instance or instances.
 
    .PARAMETER Credential
        Allows you to login to servers using alternate Windows credentials.
 
        $scred = Get-Credential, then pass $scred object to the -Credential parameter.
 
    .PARAMETER Simple
        If this switch is enabled, simplified output will be produced including only Server, Master Data Path, Master Log path, ErrorLog, TraceFlags and ParameterString.
 
    .PARAMETER EnableException
        If this switch is enabled, exceptions will be thrown to the caller, which will need to perform its own exception processing. Otherwise, the function will try to catch the exception, interpret it and provide a friendly error message.

    .EXAMPLE
        PS C:\> Get-DbaStartupParameter -SqlInstance sql2014
 
        Logs into SQL WMI as the current user then displays the values for numerous startup parameters.
 
    .EXAMPLE
        PS C:\> $wincred = Get-Credential ad\sqladmin
        PS C:\> Get-DbaStartupParameter -SqlInstance sql2014 -Credential $wincred -Simple
 
        Logs in to WMI using the ad\sqladmin credential and gathers simplified information about the SQL Server Startup Parameters.
