ildasm - the Intermediate Language (IL) disassembler

ildasm [ options ] input ...

Ildasm converts IL object files (.obj), IL executables (.exe), and IL dynamic link libraries (.dll) into Intermediate Language (IL) assembly code. The output is suitable for input to ilasm(1).

Ildasm is useful for diagnosing problems with compilers and other development tools. It is rarely useful to regular users or programmers.

-o FILE, --output FILE

Specify the name of the file to write the assembler output to. The default is standard output. Specifying FILE as `-' also indicates that the output should be set to standard output.

-d, --dump-sections

Dump the contents of the IL program sections in hexadecimal instead of as IL assembly code. This may be useful for diagnosing problems with badly formatted IL binaries.

-r, --real-offsets

By default, ildasm prints "relative virtual addresses", or RVA's, when dumping IL program sections in hexadecimal, and when dumping the names of labels within methods. The `-r' option informs ildasm to use real file offsets instead. This may assist in locating data within the file with separate tools.

-R, --resolve-all

ildasm does not resolve image data by default, which may cause problems with valuetype markers. The `-R` option enables resolution while loading.

-t, --show-tokens

Show the token codes of program elements within the disassembly output.

-q, --quote-names

Quote all identifiers within the disassembly output so that they are not confused with reserved words. This is useful if the output will be fed into ilasm(1).

-w, --whole-file

Dump the contents of the whole input file in hexadecimal. If the file is not otherwise recognized by ildasm(1) as an IL binary, this may be the only way to inspect the contents to determine what the problem is.

-b, --dump-bytes

Dump the IL instruction bytes in hexadecimal.

-n, --no-il

Do not dump the IL instructions within the methods.

--help

Print a usage message for the ildasm program.

-v, --version

Print the version of the ildasm program.

--

Marks the end of the command-line options, and the beginning of the input filenames. You may need to use this if your filename begins with '-'. e.g. "ildasm -- -input.obj". This is not needed if the input is stdin: "ildasm -" is perfectly valid.

ilasm(1), ilsize(1), ilnative(1), cscc(1)

Exit status is 1 if an error occurred while processing the input. Otherwise the exit status is 0. See the manual page for ilsize(1) for a list of diagnostic messages that may occur when the IL image file is loaded.
