Mono(lc) Mono(lc) NAME lc - Mono License Compiler SYNOPSIS lc -c filename -t targetassembly [-i reference...] [-v] [-o outputpath] [-nologo] DESCRIPTION lc tool is a license compiler for Mono. It's used to convert a li- censes.licx file to a resource that can be embedded into an executable. When using commercial components for .NET they often require a license re- source at runtime to make sure the developer was licensed to use this con- trol. The most common way of making sure the component was properly li- censed is by using license resources. At compile time the developer uses the lc tool to convert a licenses.licx file to a programname.exe.licenses file and embed that as a managed resource during compilation. RUNTIME OPTIONS The following options are available: --complist=filename, -c filename This option is used to specify the input file, the licenses.licx file to create a license reesource for. This option is required. The license compiler will read each line in this file and try to load the types specified on that line. --target=assemblyname, -t targetassembly full assembly name with file extension for the target assembly. The license compiler uses this as a key when compiling the licenses. It has to match the assembly the resource will be embedded in. This op- tion is required. --load=reference, -i reference Assembly reference to load before trying to compile a license. This option is needed for assemblies where the references are not in the gac. Compilers should pass all references to the license compiler. --verbose,, -v Gives more verbose output about the license compiling process. --help, -h Displays usage instructions. --outdir=path, -o path Target path file the licenses resource. By default the license com- piler emits the resource in the current directory. The filename will always match the target assembly passed to --target with .licenses added. --nologo Do not emit the "Mono License Compiler" logo on stdout while com- pilng. LICENSE FILES The format for the license files (licenses.licx) is the following: # comment namespace.type, assemblyname namespace.type, full-assemblyname All lines starting with a # are ignored. the first form requires that the assembly was loaded through the --load,-i option but does not require the full assembly name, only the first part. The second form requires the full assembly name including locale, version and publickeytoken.
