.I "--security"
-Activate the security manager (experimental in 1.1). This allows the
-support for declarative security attributes (e.g. execution of, CAS or
-non-CAS, security demands). The security manager is OFF by default
-(experimental). Note that this options is currently not compatible with
-AOT. The security manager will be disabled if AOT (--aot) is specified.

Prints JIT version information.
You can control this with the MONO_XMLSERIALIZER_THS environment
variable.

+The possible values are
+.B `no'
+to disable the use of a C# customized
serializer, or an integer that is the minimum number of uses before
the runtime will produce a custom serializer (0 will produce a
custom serializer on the first access, 50 will produce a serializer on
.TP
.I "MONO_DEBUG"
If set, enables some features of the runtime useful for debugging.
-It makes the runtime display the stack traces for all the threads
-running and exit when mono is interrupted (Ctrl-C) and print some
-additional messages on error conditions. It may not exit cleanly. Use at
-your own risk.
+This variable should contain a comma separated list of debugging options.
+Currently, the following options are supported:
+.RS
+.ne 8
+.TP
+.I "keep-delegates"
+This option will leak delegate trampolines that are no longer
+referenced as to present the user with more information about a
+delegate missuse. Basically a delegate instance might be created,
+passed to unmanaged code, and no references kept in managed code,
+which will garbage collect the code. With this option it is possible
+to track down the source of the problems.
+.TP
+.I "abort-on-sigsegv"
+This option will make the runtime abort when it receives a SIGSEGV signal
+while executing unmanaged (native) code. This is useful for debugging
+problems when interfacing with native code.

.I "MONO_DISABLE_AIO"
If set, tells mono NOT to attempt using native asynchronous I/O services. In
-that case, the threadpool is used for asynchronous I/O on files and sockets.
-.TP
-.I "MONO_DISABLE_SHM"
-If this variable is set, it disables the shared memory part of the
-Windows I/O Emulation layer, and handles (files, events, mutexes,
-pipes) will not be shared across processes. Process creation is also
-disabled. This option is only available on Unix.
+that case, a default select/poll implementation is used. Currently only epoll()
+is supported.
.TP
.I "MONO_EGD_SOCKET"
For platforms that do not otherwise have a way of obtaining random bytes
Experimental RTC support in the statistical profiler: if the user has
the permission, more accurate statistics are gathered. The MONO_RTC
value must be restricted to what the linux rtc allows: power of two
-from 64 to 8192 Hz.
+from 64 to 8192 Hz. To enable higher frequencies like 4096 Hz, run as root:

+ echo 4096 > /proc/sys/dev/rtc/max-user-freq

For example:
.nf
MONO_RTC=4096 mono --profiler=default:stat program.exe

+.TP
+.I "MONO_NO_TLS"
+Disable inlining of thread local accesses. Try setting this if you get a segfault
+early on in the execution of mono.
.TP
.I "MONO_SHARED_DIR"
If set its the directory where the ".wapi" handle state is stored.
will store the ".wapi" directory in the users's home directory.
.TP
.I "MONO_THREADS_PER_CPU"
-Sets the maximum number of threads in the threadpool per CPU. The default is
-50 for non-windows systems and 25 for windows.
+The maximum number of threads in the general threadpool will be
+20 + (MONO_THREADS_PER_CPU * number of CPUs). The default value for this
+variable is 5.
.TP
.I "MONO_TRACE"
+Used for runtime tracing of method calls. The format of the comma separated
+trace options is:
+.nf
+
+ [-]M:method name
+ [-]N:namespace
+ [-]T:class name
+ [-]all
+ [-]program
+ disabled Trace output off upon start.
+
+.fi
+You can toggle trace output on/off sending a SIGUSR2 signal to the program.
+.TP
+.I "MONO_TRACE_LISTENER"
If set, enables the System.Diagnostics.DefaultTraceListener, which will
print the output of the System.Diagnostics Trace and Debug classes.
It can be set to a filename, and to Console.Out or Console.Error to display
-output to standard output or standard error, respectively.
+output to standard output or standard error, respectively. If it's set to
+Console.Out or Console.Error you can append an optional prefix that will
+be used when writing messages like this: Console.Error:MyProgramName.

information.
