Usage:

refasmer [options] <dll> [<dll> ...]
Options:
  -v                         increase verbosity
  -q, --quiet                be quiet
  -h, -?, --help             show help
  -c, --continue             continue on errors
  -O, --outputdir=VALUE      set output directory
  -o, --output=VALUE         set output file, for single file only
  -r, --refasm               make reference assembly, default action
  -w, --overwrite            overwrite source files
  -p, --public               drop non-public types even with InternalsVisibleTo
  -i, --internals            import public and internal types
      --all                  ignore visibility and import all
  -m, --mock                 make mock assembly instead of reference assembly
  -n, --noattr               omit reference assembly attribute
  -l, --list                 make file list xml
  -a, --attr=VALUE           add FileList tag attribute

(note the executable is called RefasmerExe.exe if built locally; refasmer is a name of an executable installed by dotnet tool install)

Mock assembly throws System.NotImplementedException in each imported method. Reference assembly contains only type definition and method signatures with no method bodies.

Examples:

refasmer -v -O ref -c a.dll b.dll c.dll

will handle all passed DLL files continuing on errors. Output dlls will be placed to ./ref directory

refasmer -l -a Redist="Microsoft-Windows-CLRCoreComp.3.5" -a Name=".NET Framework 3.5" -a RuntimeVersion="3.5" -a ShortName="Full" a.dll b.dll c.dll > FrameworkList.xml

will generate FrameworkList for all passed DLL files with root tag

<FileList Redist="Microsoft-Windows-CLRCoreComp.3.5" Name=".NET Framework 3.5" RuntimeVersion="3.5" ShortName="Full">
