+<#
+.SYNOPSIS
+A script that given as input $TargetPath param, returns the owners
+of that path, as determined by CODEOWNERS file passed in $CodeOwnersFileLocation
+param.
+
+.PARAMETER TargetPath
+Required*. Path to file or directory whose owners are to be determined from a 
+CODEOWNERS file. e.g. sdk/core/azure-amqp/ or sdk/core/foo.txt.
+
+*for backward compatibility, you might provide $TargetDirectory instead.
+
+.PARAMETER TargetDirectory
+Obsolete. Replaced by $TargetPath. Kept for backward-compatibility.
+If both $TargetPath and $TargetDirectory are provided, $TargetDirectory is
+ignored.
+
+.PARAMETER CodeOwnerFileLocation
+Optional. An absolute path to the CODEOWNERS file against which the $TargetPath param
+will be checked to determine its owners.
+
+.PARAMETER ToolVersion
+Optional. The NuGet package version of the package containing the "retrieve-codeowners" 
+tool, around which this script is a wrapper.
+
+.PARAMETER ToolPath
+Optional. The place to check the "retrieve-codeowners" tool existence.
+
+.PARAMETER DevOpsFeed
+Optional. The NuGet package feed from which the "retrieve-codeowners" tool is to be installed.
+
+NuGet feed:
+https://dev.azure.com/azure-sdk/public/_artifacts/feed/azure-sdk-for-net/NuGet/Azure.Sdk.Tools.RetrieveCodeOwners
+
+Pipeline publishing the NuGet package to the feed, "tools - code-owners-parser":
+https://dev.azure.com/azure-sdk/internal/_build?definitionId=3188
+
+.PARAMETER VsoVariable 
+Optional. If provided, the determined owners, based on $TargetPath matched against CODEOWNERS file at $CodeOwnerFileLocation, 
+will be output to Azure DevOps pipeline log as variable named $VsoVariable.
+
+Reference:
+https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/devops/pipelines/process/variables?view=azure-devops&tabs=yaml%2Cbatch
+https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/devops/pipelines/scripts/logging-commands?view=azure-devops&tabs=bash#logging-command-format
+
+.PARAMETER IncludeNonUserAliases
+Optional. Whether to include in the returned owners list aliases that are team aliases, e.g. Azure/azure-sdk-team
+
+.PARAMETER Test
+Optional. Whether to run the script against hard-coded tests.
+
