File extension CMD - Windows command script file

What is CMD file extension:

The CMD file extension is commonly used for command script files used in Windows, which are very similar in functionality to BAT file format.

In DOS, OS/2, and Microsoft Windows, a batch file is a text file containing a series of commands intended to be executed by the command interpreter. When a batch file is run, the shell program (usually COMMAND.COM or cmd.exe) reads the file and executes its commands, normally line-by-line. Batch files are useful for running a sequence of executables automatically and are often used by system administrators to automate tedious processes.
