 .SH DESCRIPTION
-The \fImonodis\fP program is used to dump the contents a CIL image
-(contained in .EXE files that contain extended PE/COFF CIL code).  
+The \fImonodis\fP program is used to dump the contents an ECMA/ISO CIL
+image (contained in .EXE files that contain extended PE/COFF CIL
+code).
+.PP
+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. 
+.PP
+Additionally, the tool can be used to dump the contents of the various
+ECMA CIL metadata tables.
