DESCRIPTION

   The  monodis program is used to dump the contents an ECMA/ISO CIL image
   (contained in .EXE files that contain extended PE/COFF CIL code).

   To roundtrip assemblies using ilasm, it is best  to  use  the  --output
   argument,  as  that  will  make  monodis save the embedded resources in
   files that can later be properly embedded back by ilasm.

   Additionally, the tool can be used to dump the contents of the  various
   ECMA CIL metadata tables.

OPTIONS

   The following Generic options are supported:

   --help , -h
          Displays usage instructions.

   --output=FILENAME
          Write  output  into  FILENAME  and  dump  any  embedded  managed
          resources.

   --mscorlib
          For non-corlib assemblies, use "mscorlib" as the assembly  name.
          This is useful for round-tripping the IL with ilasm.

   --show-method-tokens
          Display tokens for disassembled methods.

OPTIONS TO DISPLAY METADATA TABLES

   The  following  options  are used to display metadata tables instead of
   disassembling the CIL image.

   --assembly
          Dumps the contents of the Assembly table.

   --assemblyref
          Dumps the contents of the AssemblyRef table.

   --classlayout
          Dumps the contents of the ClassLayout table.

   --constant
          Dumps the contents of the Constant table.

   --customattr
          Dumps the contents of the CustomAttribute table.

   --declsec
          Dumps the contents of the DeclSec table.

   --event
          Dumps the contents of the Event table.

   --exported
          Dumps the contents of the ExportedType table.

   --fields
          Dumps the contents of the Field table.

   --file Dumps the contents of the File table.

   --forward-decls
          Dumps forward declarations for classes.

   --genericpar
          Dumps the contents of the GenericParam table.

   --implmap
          Dumps the contents of the ImplMap table.

   --interface
          Dumps the contents of the InterfaceImpl table.

   --manifest
          Dumps the contents of the ManifestResource table.

   --marshal
          Dumps the contents of the FieldMarshal table.

   --memberref
          Dumps the contents of the MemberRef table.

   --method
          Dumps the contents of the MethodDef table.

   --methodimpl
          Dumps the contents of the MethodImpl table.

   --methodspec
          Dumps the contents of the MethodSpec table.

   --methodsem
          Dumps the contents of the MethodSemantics table.

   --module
          Dumps the contents of the Module table.

   --moduleref
          Dumps the contents of the ModuleRef table.

   --mresources
          Saves all the managed resources embedded in  the  assembly  into
          the current directory.   To get a list of the embedded resources
          use the --manifest option.

   --presources
          Prints offsets and names of manifest resources embedded  in  the
          assembly.

   --nested
          Dumps the contents of the NestedClass table.

   --param
          Dumps the contents of the Param table.

   --parconst
          Dumps the contents of the GenericParameterConstraint table.

   --property
          Dumps the contents of the Property table.

   --propertymap
          Dumps the contents of the PropertyMap table.

   --standalonesig
          Dumps the contents of the StandAloneSig table.

   --typedef
          Dumps the contents of the TypeDef table.

   --typespec
          Dumps the contents of the TypeSpec table.

   --typeref
          Dumps the contents of the TypeRef table.

   --blob Dumps the entire contents of the blob stream as hex.

   --strings
          Dumps the contents of the Strings heap.

   --userstrings
          Dumps the contents of the User-Strings heap

   If no flags are specified the program dumps the content of the image in
   a format that can be used to rountrip the code.

ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES

   MONO_PATH
          Provides a search path to  mono  and  mint  where  to  look  for
          library  files.   Directories are separated by the platform path
          separator        (colons        on        unix).        Example:
          /home/username/lib:/usr/local/mono/lib
