A command (.CMD) is a specific action assigned to a program to perform a specific task.

Techopedia Explains Command (.CMD)
Computer languages use command in an assertive manner similar to many natural languages. So in a statement, the command would be the verb. For example in the DOS command statement del /p file.x, del is the command itself, while the rest is parameters used to give specifics to the command. Every command depends on the operating system and the specific process that is assigned to it.
