NAME
al, al2 - Mono Assembly LinkerSYNOPSIS
al [option] [source-files]DESCRIPTION
AL is the Mono assembly linkder.This linker is used to put together assemblies from a collection of modules (.netmodule files), assembly manifest files and resources.
Do not confuse this with the monolinker, which is a tool to reduce the size of assemblies based on the code used.
Use al for processing 1.0 assemblies, use al2 to process 2.0 assemblies.
OPTIONS
- @<filename>
- Read response file for more options.
- -algid:<id>
- Algorithm used to hash files. The <id> must be specified in hexadecimal.
- -base:<addr> | -baseaddress:<addr>
- Base address for the library. THIS FEATURE ISN'T IMPLEMENTED.
- -bugreport:<filename>
- Create a 'Bug Report' file. THIS FEATURE ISN'T IMPLEMENTED.
- -comp:<text> | -company:<text>
- This inserts the company name into the assembly metadata. This is equivalent to adding the [AssemblyCompany ("<text>")] attribute into C# source code.
- -config:<text> | -configuration:<text>
- This inserts the configuration string into the assembly metadata. This is equivalent to adding the [AssemblyConfiguration ("<text>")] attribute into C# source code.
- -copy:<text> | -copyright:<text>
- This inserts the copyright message into the assembly metadata. This is equivalent to adding the [AssemblyCopyright ("<text>")] attribute into C# source code.
- -c:<text> | -culture:<text>
- This inserts the supported culture into the assembly metadata. This is equivalent to adding the [AssemblyCulture ("<text>")] attribute into C# source code.
- -delay | -delay+ | -delaysign | -delaysign+
- The generated assembly will be delay signed. This is equivalent to adding the [AssemblyDelaySignAttribute (true)] attribute into C# source code.
- -delay- | -delaysign-
- The generated assembly will be fully signed (i.e. not delay signed). This is the default option when signing (-keyfile or -keyname).
- -descr:<text> | -description:<text>
- This inserts a description of the assembly into the assembly metadata. This is equivalent to adding the [AssemblyDescription ("<text>")] attribute into C# source code.
- -e:<filename> | -evidence:<filename>
- This embed into the assembly the specified file as assembly security evidences.
- -fileversion:<version>
- Optional Win32 version. This overrides the normal assembly version.
- -flags:<flags>
- Assembly flags. The <flags> must be specified in hexadecimal.
- -fullpaths
- Display files using fully-qualified filenames.
- -keyf:<filename> | -keyfile:<filename>
- Strongname (sign) the output assembly using the key pair present in the specified strong name key file (snk). A full key pair is required unless the delay signing option is also specified (-delay+). This is equivalent to adding the [AssemblyKeyFile ("<text>")] attribute into C# source code.
- -keyn:<text> | -keyname:<text>
- Strongname (sign) the output assembly using the key pair present in the specified container. Delay signing isn't supported when using key containers. This is equivalent to adding the [AssemblyKeyName ("<text>")] attribute into C# source code.
- -main:<method>
- Specifies the method name of the assembly entry point.
- -nologo
- Suppress the startup banner and copyright message.
- -out:<filename>
- Output file name for the assembly manifest.
- -prod:<text> | product:<text>
- This inserts the product name into the assembly metadata. This is equivalent to adding the [AssemblyProduct ("<text>")] attribute into C# source code.
- -productv[ersion]:<text>
- This inserts the product version into the assembly metadata. This is equivalent to adding the [AssemblyInformationalVersion ("<text>")] attribute into C# source code.
- -t[arget]:<target> | -target=<target>
- Valid <target>s are: lib | library to create a library (.dll), exe to create a console executable (.exe), and win | winexe to create a Windows executable (.exe).
- -template:<filename>
- Specifies an assembly to get default options from.
- -title:<text>
- This inserts an assembly title into the assembly metadata. This is equivalent to adding the [AssemblyTitle ("<text>")] attribute into C# source code.
- -trade:<text> | -trademark:<text>
- This inserts a trademark message into the assembly metadata. This is equivalent to adding the [AssemblyTrademark ("<text>")] attribute into C# source code.
- -v:<version> | -version:<version>
- This inserts the assembly version into the assembly metadata. You can use * to auto-generate remaining numbers. This is equivalent to adding the [AssemblyVersion ("<text>")] attribute into C# source code.
- -win32icon:<filename>
- Use this icon for the output.
- -win32res:<filename>
- Specifies the Win32 resource file.
