# mono-api-info(1)

Expose IL structure of CLR assemblies as XML.

## NAME

mono-api-info - Expose IL structure of CLR assemblies as XML.

## SYNOPSIS

**mono-api-info \[--abi\] assembly1.dll assembly2.exe ...**

## DESCRIPTION

Expose the structure of your CLR assemblies by examining their IL and giving XML output.

By default this tool gives information about just the public API of the assemblies to scan. So it's good for comparing API compatibility between versions of libraries.

## OPTIONS

- *--abi*

  Show the ABI instead of the API, that is, non-static fields (even the non-public ones) that are not marked as \[NonSerialized()\].
