How to show the current pshostprocess and runspace information?

When debugging a powershell DSC resource, we have a help from the DSC resource which shows the commands needed to attach the debugger to the right Powershell Runspace. As described in https://overpoweredshell.com/Troubleshooting-DSC/: enter image description here

I want to be able to output the same kind of help from my powershell script, nothing to do with DSC.

So, how do I figure out my current PSHostProcess, AppDomain and Runspace Id from my powershell script?

I do not want to debug in ISE or any other GUI (for the reasons irrelevant to the question).

The process ID of the host process is available via the $PID automatic variable.

The name of the containing AppDomain can be found via:

[AppDomain]::CurrentDomain.FriendlyName

but is usually not necessary when targeting most host applications (such as powershell.exe or powershell_ise.exe)

For the runspaces, use Get-Runspace from the host application:

Get-Runspace
