Command line tool for Ryochan7/DS4Windows host application (https://github.com/Ryochan7/DS4Windows/).

DS4Windows app supports various command line options to start/stop DS4Windows app or controllers, loadProfile or query current property values of the app or profile. However, the host app is Windows GUI application, so especially the use of Query command line option is a bit difficult to integrate with Windows batch scripts (GUI app doesn't have console and it doesn't wait for command completion until returning to a calling process). This DS4WindowsCmd tool solves this problem because this is a "true" Windows console application.

Usage examples:
DS4WindowsCmd.exe -command Query.1.ProfileName
DS4WindowsCmd.exe -command Query.1.OutContType

DS4WindowsCmd.exe -command Query.1.MacAddress
DS4WindowsCmd.exe -command LoadProfile.1.SnakeGame
DS4WindowsCmd.exe -command LoadTempProfile.1.RacingGame

DS4WindowsCmd.exe (running in a cmdline shell without options shows all supported options)
- DS4WindowsCmd.exe -command Query.1.ProfileName
- DS4WindowsCmd.exe -command Query.1.OutContType
- DS4WindowsCmd.exe -command Query.1.DeviceVidPid
- DS4WindowsCmd.exe -command Query.1.MacAddress

- DS4WindowsCmd.exe -command LoadTempProfile.1.RacingGame
- DS4WindowsCmd.exe -command Shutdown
- DS4WindowsCmd.exe (running in a cmdline shell without options shows all supported options)

Note! This command line tool does nothing without the host DS4Windows application running in the background, so make sure to download Ryochan7/DS4Windows host application first.
