.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.

Dumps the contents of the ModuleRef table.
.TP
.I "--mresources"
-Dumps the managed resources embedded in the assembly.
+Saves all the managed resources embedded in the assembly into the
