NAME

       lc - Mono License Compiler

SYNOPSIS

       lc -c filename -t targetassembly [-i reference...] [-v] [-o outputpath] [-nologo]

DESCRIPTION

       lc tool is a license compiler for Mono. It's used to convert a licenses.licx file to a resource that can be embedded into an executable.

       When  using  commercial components for .NET they often require a license resource at runtime to make sure the developer was licensed to use
       this control. The most common way of making sure the component was properly licensed is by using license resources.  At	compile  time  the
       developer  uses the lc tool to convert a licenses.licx file to a programname.exe.resources file and embed that as a managed resource during
       compilation.

RUNTIME OPTIONS

       The following options are available:

       --complist=filename, -c filename
	      This option is used to specify the input file, the licenses.licx file to create a license reesource for. This  option  is  required.
	      The license compiler will read each line in this file and try to load the types specified on that line.

       --target=assemblyname, -t targetassembly
	      full assembly name with file extension for the target assembly. The license compiler uses this as a key when compiling the licenses.
	      It has to match the assembly the resource will be embedded in. This option is required.

       --load=reference, -i reference
	      Assembly reference to load before trying to compile a license. This option is needed for assemblies where the references are not	in
	      the gac. Compilers should pass all references to the license compiler.

       --verbose,, -v
	      Gives more verbose output about the license compiling process.

       --help, -h
	      Displays usage instructions.

       --output=path, -o path
	      Target  path  file  the licenses resource. By default the license compiler emits the resource in the current directory. The filename
	      will always match the target assembly passed to --target with .licenses added.

       --nologo
	      Do not emit the "Mono License Compiler" logo  on stdout while compilng.

LICENSE FILES

       The format for the license files (licenses.licx) is the following:
	    # comment
	    namespace.type, assemblyname
	    namespace.type, full-assemblyname

       All lines starting with a # are ignored. the first form requires that the assembly was loaded through the --load,-i  option  but  does  not
       require the full assembly name, only the first part.

       The second form requires the full assembly name including locale, version and publickeytoken.

NAME

       gacutil - Global Assembly Cache management utility.

SYNOPSIS

       gacutil [-user] [command] [options]

DESCRIPTION

       gacutil	is  a  tool  used  by developers to install versioned assemblies into the system Global Assembly Cache (GAC) to become part of the
       assemblies that are available for all applications at runtime.

       Notice that they are not directly available to the compiler. The convention is that assemblies must also be placed in a separate  directory
       to be accessed by the compiler.	This is done with the -package directive to gacutil.

       The tool allows for installation, removal, and listing of the contents of the assembly cache.

       The GAC is relative to the Mono installation prefix: mono_prefix/lib/mono.

COMMANDS

       -i <assembly_path> [-check_refs] [-package NAME] [-root ROOTDIR] [-gacdir GACDIR]

	Installs an assembly into the global assembly cache. <assembly_path> is the name of the file that contains the assembly manifest

       The  -package  option  can  be  used  to  also  create  a directory in in prefix/lib/mono with the name NAME, and a symlink is created from
       NAME/assembly_name to the assembly on the GAC.  This is used so developers can reference a set of libraries at once.

       The -root option is used to specify the "libdir" value of an installation prefix which differs from the prefix of the system GAC.   Typical
       automake  usage is "-root $(DESTDIR)$(prefix)/lib".  To access assemblies installed to a prefix other than the mono prefix, it is necessary
       to set the MONO_GAC_PREFIX environment variable.

       The -gacdir option is included for backward compatibility but is not recommended for new code. Use the -root option instead.

       The -check_refs option is used to ensure that the assembly being installed into the GAC does not reference any non strong named assemblies.
       Assemblies being installed to the GAC should not reference non strong named assemblies, however the is an optional check.

       -l [assembly_name] [-root ROOTDIR] [-gacdir GACDIR]

       Lists the contents of the global assembly cache. When the <assembly_name> parameter is specified only matching assemblies are listed.

       -u <assembly_display_name> [-package NAME] [-root ROOTDIR] [-gacdir GACDIR]

       Uninstalls an assembly from the global assembly cache.  <assembly_display_name> is the name of the assembly (partial or fully qualified) to
       remove from the global assembly cache. If a partial name is specified all matching assemblies  will  be	uninstalled.  As  opposed  to  the
       install option that takes a filename, this takes as an argument the assembly name, which looks like this:
	    MyLibrary.Something, version=1.0.0.0, publicKeyToken=xxxx,culture=neutral

       Notice that you can have spaces in the command line. There is no need to quote them.

       Performs a greedy removal. If you only specify one component like, "MyLibrary.Something", it will remove all versions of the library.

       -us  <assembly_path>  [-package	NAME]  [-root  ROOTDIR]  [-gacdir GACDIR] Uninstalls an assembly using the specified assembly's full name.
       <assembly path> is the path to an assembly. The full assembly name is retrieved from the specified assembly if there is an assembly in  the
       GAC with a matching name, it is removed. Unlike the -u option this option takes a file name, like this:
	       Example: -us myDll.dll

       -ul <assembly_list_file> [-package NAME] [-root ROOTDIR] [-gacdir GACDIR] Uninstalls one or more assemblies from the global assembly cache.
       <assembly_list_file> is the path to a test file containing a list of assembly names on separate lines.
       Example -ul assembly_list.txt
       assembly_list.txt contents:
	   assembly1,Version=1.0.0.0,Culture=en,PublicKeyToken=0123456789abcdef
	   assembly2,Version=2.0.0.0,Culture=en,PublicKeyToken=0123456789abcdef

FILES

       On Unix assemblies are loaded from the installation lib directory.  If you set  `prefix'  to  /usr,  the  assemblies  will  be  located	in
       /usr/lib.  On Windows, the assemblies are loaded from the directory where mono and mint live.

       /etc/mono/config, ~/.mono/config

       Mono runtime configuration file.  See the mono-config(5) manual page for more information.
