cmd - How do I change the command-line prompt in Windows?

Question

How do I change the command-line prompt into a console?

I've been looking in the console functions API, but I could not find anything for it.

There's the PROMPT environment variable:

set PROMPT=$P$G

$P$G is the default value, giving you the usual C:> type output. There are more format variables available here.
