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
