al(1) General Commands Manual al(1) NAME
al, al2 - Mono Assembly Linker SYNOPSIS
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 -key- name). -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. -? | -help Display information about AL SEE ALSO
