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
       licenses.licx  file  to	a  resource  that can be embedded into an exe‐
       cutable.

       When using commercial components for .NET they often require a  license
       resource at runtime to make sure the developer was licensed to use this
       control. The most common way of making sure the component was  properly
       licensed	 is  by using license resources. At compile time the developer
       uses the lc  tool  to  convert  a  licenses.licx	 file  to  a  program‐
       name.exe.licenses file and embed that as a managed resource during com‐
       pilation.

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 option 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
	      compiler emits the resource in the current directory. The	 file‐
	      name  will  always  match the target assembly passed to --target
	      with .licenses added.

       --nologo
	      Do not emit the "Mono License Compiler" logo   on	 stdout	 while
	      compilng.

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, ver‐
       sion and publickeytoken.
