commandinstruction

commandinstruction is a term used in computing to describe a compact data unit that encapsulates a command name and its execution instructions. The word blends "command" and "instruction" to emphasize that the data item both identifies an action and carries the details needed to carry it out.

Structure and encoding commonly involve a command field (an opcode or name), an instruction payload (operands or parameters), and optional metadata such as priority or mode. This data can be serialized in formats such as JSON, XML, YAML, or a compact binary form, depending on the system’s requirements. Parsers validate the payload and interpreters or executors perform the specified action.

Usage and examples vary by domain. In a command-processing engine or scripting interface, a commandinstruction might encode a move or transfer action with its parameters. For instance, a commandinstruction could specify command: "transfer" with a payload containing source, destination, and amount. In robotics or automation, it may represent a structured instruction that guides a device through a sequence of steps.

Relation to related terms includes its connection to command messages, instruction payloads, and instruction set concepts. It is not a standard term in formal literature and may appear mainly in niche or proprietary contexts. See also: command, instruction, opcode, parser, interpreter, command language.
