-.SH DESCRIPTION
-The \fImono\fP program is a Just in Time compiler for ECMA CLI byte
-codes. It translates dynamically a CIL stream into native code.
-.I program.exe
-and optionally passes
-the
-.I arguments
-to it.
-.SH OPTIONS
-The following options are supported:
-.TP
-.I "--help", "-h"
-Displays usage instructions.
-.TP
-.I "--share-code"
-This mode makes the LoaderOptimization for Application Domains default
-to sharing code. This results in slower code, but enables code
-sharing across application domains. The default is to maximize for
-speed, but disallow JITed code sharing across domains. See
-System.LoaderOptimization for more information
-.TP
-.I "--config filename"
-Load the specified configuration file instead of the default one(s).
-The default files are /etc/mono/config and ~/.mono/config or the file
-specified in the MONO_CONFIG environment variable, if set.
-.TP
-.I "--noinline"
-Disables the code inliner.
-.TP
-.SH DEBUGGING OPTIONS
-The following options are used to debug, or perfomance test the JIT
-compiler:
-.TP
-.I "--trace-calls"
-Shows method names as they are invoked.
-.TP
-.I "--dump-asm"
-Displays the generated code as methods are invoked.
-.TP
-.I "--dump-forest"
-Displays the basic blocks and the forest of trees that is
-created from a stream of CIL opcodes.
-.TP
-.I "--compile name"
-Compiles the method on the given class (namespace.name:methodname) or
-all classes in the given image (@imagename).
-.TP
-.I "--ncompile"
-Compiles the method a number of times. If no argument is specified,
-the method will be compiled a thousand times.
-.SH DEVELOPMENT OPTIONS
-The following options are used to debug a JITed application. They're
-only useful when running the JIT in a debugger:
-.TP
-.I "--debug"
-Writes out debug information in the given format or in the default format.
-See DEBUGGING FORMATS for details.
-.TP
-.I "--debug-args args"
-Comma-separated list of additional arguments for the symbol writer.
-See DEBUGGING FORMATS for details.
-.TP
-.I "--break method"
-Inserts a breakpoint before the method whose name is `method'
-(namespace.class:methodname). Use `Main' as method name to insert a breakpoint on the
-application's main method.
-.TP
-.I "--precompile name"
-Compiles the given class (namespace.name), method (namespace.name:methodname)
-or all classes in the given image (@imagename) before executing the main
-application.
-.TP
-.I "--profile"
-Collect profiling information and dump it at the end of the process.
-.SH DEBUGGING FORMATS
-The following debugging formats are currently supported:
-.TP
-.I "stabs"
-Writes out stabs debug information.
-.TP
-.I "dwarf"
-Writes out dwarf debug information.
-.TP
-.I "mono"
-Use a symbol file which has been created by MCS. It can be used to get
-source lines in stack traces.
-.PP
-The "stabs" and "dwarf" formats support the following options:
-.TP
-.I "filename=FILENAME"
-Write debugging information into FILENAME. This file must be run through
-the assembler to create an object file.
-.TP
-.I "objfile=FILENAME"
-When automatically assembling the symbol file, write the resulting object
-file into FILENAME.
-.TP
-.I "dont_assemble"
-Normally, the symbol file is automatically assembled to an object file
-when you call "mono_debug_make_symbols". Use this option to disable this
-behaviour.
-.TP
-.I "install_il_files"
-Put the generated *.il files in the same directory than the assembly they
-came from. The default is to put them into the current working directory.
-.TP
-.I "dont_update_il_files"
-Normally, the *.il files are recreated if their assemblies have changed
-when you call "mono_debug_make_symbols". Use this option to disable this
-behaviour.
-.TP
-.I "dont_create_il_files"
-Update the *.il files if their assemblies have changed, but only if the
-file already exists.
-.PP
-.SH ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
-.TP
-.I "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:
-.B /home/username/lib:/usr/local/mono/lib
-.PP
-.TP
-.I "MONO_DISABLE_SHM"
-If this variable is set, it disables the Windows I/O Emulation layer,
-and handles (files, events, mutexes, pipes) will not be shared across
-processes. This option is only available on Unix.
-.TP
-.I "MONO_CFG_DIR"
-If set, this variable overrides the default system configuration directory
-($PREFIX/etc). It's used to locate machine.config file.
-.TP
-.I "GC_DONT_GC"
-Turns off the garbage collection in Mono. This should be only used
-for debugging purposes
-.TP
-.I "MONO_CONFIG"
-If set, this variable overrides the default runtime configuration file
-($PREFIX/etc/mono/config). The --config command line options overrides the
-environment variable.
-.SH FILES
-On Unix assemblies are loaded from the installation lib directory. If you set
-`prefix' to /usr, the assemblies will be located in /usr/lib. On
-Windows, the assemblies are loaded from the directory where mono and
-mint live.
-.PP
-/etc/mono/config, ~/.mono/config
-.IP
-Mono runtime configuration file. See the mono-config(5) manual page
-for more information.
