✨ NAME ✨

Mono CIL strip

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

mono-cil-strip [options] assembly [output-assembly]

---

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

mono-cil-strip is a tool which takes an assembly, and empty its method bodies. no cap, that's literally what it does.

This is useful to reduce an assembly size when an assembly has already been compiled using Mono's Ahead Of Time compiler (AOT), where the CIL code is no longer necessary, but the metadata still is. So it strips the CIL code and keeps the metadata, periodt. 💅

💅 OPTIONS 💅

The following options are available:

• -q — only output errors. That's it, that's the option. Quiet queen behavior, fr fr. 🤫
