al, al2 - Mono Assembly Linker
al [option] [source-files]
AL is the Mono assembly linker.
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.
Read response file for more options.
Algorithm used to hash files. The <id> must be specified in hexadecimal.
Base address for the library. THIS FEATURE ISN'T IMPLEMENTED.
Create a 'Bug Report' file. THIS FEATURE ISN'T IMPLEMENTED.
This inserts the company name into the assembly metadata. This is equivalent to adding the [AssemblyCompany ("<text>")] attribute into C# source code.
This inserts the configuration string into the assembly metadata. This is equivalent to adding the [AssemblyConfiguration ("<text>")] attribute into C# source code.
This inserts the copyright message into the assembly metadata. This is equivalent to adding the [AssemblyCopyright ("<text>")] attribute into C# source code.
This inserts the supported culture into the assembly metadata. This is equivalent to adding the [AssemblyCulture ("<text>")] attribute into C# source code.
The generated assembly will be delay signed. This is equivalent to adding the [AssemblyDelaySignAttribute (true)] attribute into C# source code.
The generated assembly will be fully signed (i.e. not delay signed). This is the default option when signing (-keyfile or -keyname).
This inserts a description of the assembly into the assembly metadata. This is equivalent to adding the [AssemblyDescription ("<text>")] attribute into C# source code.
This embed into the assembly the specified file as assembly security evidences.
Optional Win32 version. This overrides the normal assembly version.
Assembly flags. The <flags> must be specified in hexadecimal.
Display files using fully-qualified filenames.
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.
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.
Specifies the method name of the assembly entry point.
Suppress the startup banner and copyright message.
Output file name for the assembly manifest.
This inserts the product name into the assembly metadata. This is equivalent to adding the [AssemblyProduct ("<text>")] attribute into C# source code.
This inserts the product version into the assembly metadata. This is equivalent to adding the [AssemblyInformationalVersion ("<text>")] attribute into C# source code.
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).
Specifies an assembly to get default options from.
This inserts an assembly title into the assembly metadata. This is equivalent to adding the [AssemblyTitle ("<text>")] attribute into C# source code.
This inserts a trademark message into the assembly metadata. This is equivalent to adding the [AssemblyTrademark ("<text>")] attribute into C# source code.
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.
Use this icon for the output.
Specifies the Win32 resource file.
