DESCRIPTION

20       The  monodis program is used to dump the contents an ECMA/ISO CIL image
21       (contained in .EXE files that contain extended PE/COFF CIL code).
22
23       To roundtrip assemblies using ilasm, it is best  to  use  the  --output
24       argument,  as  that  will  make  monodis save the embedded resources in
25       files that can later be properly embedded back by ilasm.
26
27       Additionally, the tool can be used to dump the contents of the  various
28       ECMA CIL metadata tables.
29

OPTIONS

31       The following Generic options are supported:
32
33       --help , -h
34              Displays usage instructions.
35
36       --output=FILENAME
37              Write  output  into  FILENAME  and  dump  any  embedded  managed
38              resources.
39
40       --mscorlib
41              For non-corlib assemblies, use "mscorlib" as the assembly  name.
42              This is useful for round-tripping the IL with ilasm.
43
44       --show-method-tokens
45              Display tokens for disassembled methods.
46
47       --show-tokens
48              Display tokens for strings, types, methods, fields, etc.
49

ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES

170       MONO_PATH
171              Provides a search path to  mono  and  mint  where  to  look  for
172              library  files.   Directories are separated by the platform path
173              separator    (colons    on    unix).    Example:     /home/user‐
174              name/lib:/usr/local/mono/lib
