It should appear inside a +.B dllmap +element with only the dll attribute specified. +.PP +The +.B dllentry +element takes 3 attributes: +.TP +.I dll +This is the target library, where the function can be found. +.TP +.I name +This is the name of the fuction as it appears in the metadata: it is the name +of the P/Invoke method. +.TP +.I target +This is the name of the function to lookup instead of the name specified in the +P/Invoke method. +.SH EXAMPLES +The following example maps references to the `cygwin1.dll' shared +library to the `libc.so.6' file. +.nf +<configuration> + <dllmap dll="cygwin1.dll" target="libc.so.6"/> +</configuration> +.fi +.PP +This one maps the following C# method: +.nf + [DllImport ("libc")] + static extern void somefunction (); +.fi +to +.B differentfunction +in +.B libdifferent.so. +.nf +<configuration> + <dllmap dll="libc"> + <dllentry dll="libdifferent.so" name="somefunction" target="differentfunction" /> + </dllmap> +</configuration> +.fi + +.SH SEE ALSO +.BR mono(1), monodis(1), mint(1) |
