Command Naming Convention

At the heart of this project is a convention determining how commands are named. Without such a convention it would be harder to find new commands and remember the names of every day commands.

The gist of the convention is: The name of a command is a dot-separated list of words. This list describes a path inside a concept hierarchy from a general starting point to the desired destination.

Example:

  • Natural description: I want to see how much communication there is between my computer and the network.
  • Command: system.network.usage
