    .PARAMETER SqlInstance
        The target SQL Server instance or instances.
 
    .PARAMETER SqlCredential
        Login to the target instance using alternative credentials. Windows and SQL Authentication supported. Accepts credential objects (Get-Credential)
 
    .PARAMETER Statement
        Is the name of the DBCC command for which to receive syntax information.
        Provide only the part of the DBCC command that follows DBCC,
            for example, CHECKDB instead of DBCC CHECKDB.
 
    .PARAMETER IncludeUndocumented
        Allows getting help for undocumented DBCC commands. Requires Traceflag 2588
        This only works for SQL Server 2005 or Higher
 
    .PARAMETER EnableException
        By default, when something goes wrong we try to catch it, interpret it and give you a friendly warning message.
        This avoids overwhelming you with "sea of red" exceptions, but is inconvenient because it basically disables advanced scripting.
        Using this switch turns this "nice by default" feature off and enables you to catch exceptions with your own try/catch.
