monop: List the other assemblies that a specified assembly references.
$ monop -r:${path-to-assembly-dll} --refs
try on your machine

The command "monop -r:${path-to-assembly-dll} --refs" is used to analyze and display the references (dependencies) of a .NET assembly.

Here is a breakdown of the command:

  • "monop" refers to the Mono Library Deps Analyzer tool. Mono is an open-source implementation of the .NET framework.
  • "-r:${path-to-assembly-dll}" is an argument for the tool where "${path-to-assembly-dll}" should be replaced with the actual path to the .NET assembly (DLL file) you want to analyze.
  • "--refs" is an option or flag indicating that you want to display the references of the assembly.

By running this command in a command-line interface, the tool will read the specified assembly and list out all the external dependencies (other assemblies or libraries that this assembly depends on) along with their versions and public keys if applicable. This can be useful when debugging or managing dependencies in a .NET project.

This explanation was created by an AI. In most cases those are correct. But please always be careful and never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
