      <maml:para>This command can be used in 2 ways. First, you can export custom type information to a json or xml file to make it easier to recreate them in another PowerShell session. Or you can export the type extensions to a properly formatted ps1xml file which you can use with Update-TypeData. The command will create the appropriate file based on the extension in the specified path.</maml:para>
