 ILSpy Command Line Arguments
 
-Command line arguments can be either options or file names.
+Usage:  <Assemblies> [options]
-If an argument is a file name, the file will be opened as assembly and added to the current assembly list.
+        @ResponseFile.rsp
 
-Available options:
+Arguments:
-    /singleInstance    If ILSpy is already running, activates the existing instance
+  Assemblies                          Assemblies to load
-                       and passes command line arguments to that instance.
-                       This is the default value if /list is not used.
 
-    /separate          Start up a separate ILSpy instance even if it is already running.
+Options:
-    
+  --newinstance                       Start a new instance of ILSpy even if the user configuration is set to single-instance
-    /noActivate        Do not activate the existing ILSpy instance. This option has no effect
+  -n|--navigateto <TYPENAME>          Navigates to the member specified by the given ID string.
-                       if a new ILSpy instance is being started.
-    
-    /list:listname     Specifies the name of the assembly list that is loaded initially.
-                       When this option is not specified, ILSpy loads the previously opened list.
-                       Specify "/list" (without value) to open the default list.
-                       
-                       When this option is used, ILSpy will activate an existing instance
-                       only if it uses the same list as specified.
-                       
-                       [Note: Assembly Lists are not yet implemented]
-    
-    /clearList         Clears the assembly list before loading the specified assemblies.
-                       [Note: Assembly Lists are not yet implemented]
-    
-    /navigateTo:tag    Navigates to the member specified by the given ID string.
                                       The member is searched for only in the assemblies specified on the command line.
-                       Example: 'ILSpy ILSpy.exe /navigateTo:T:ICSharpCode.ILSpy.CommandLineArguments'
+                                      Example: 'ILSpy ILSpy.exe --navigateTo:T:ICSharpCode.ILSpy.CommandLineArguments'
-                       
+  -s|--search <SEARCHTERM>            Search for t:TypeName, m:Member or c:Constant; use exact match (=term),
-                       The syntax of ID strings is described in appendix A of the C# language specification.
+                                      'should not contain' (-term) or 'must contain' (+term); use

-    /language:name     Selects the specified language.
+  -l|--language <LANGUAGEIDENTIFIER>  Selects the specified language.
-                       Example: 'ILSpy /language:C#' or 'ILSpy /language:IL'
+                                      Example: 'ILSpy --language:C#' or 'ILSpy --language:IL'
-
+  -c|--config <CONFIGFILENAME>        Provide a specific configuration file.
-WM_COPYDATA (SendMessage API):
+                                      Example: 'ILSpy --config:myconfig.xml'
-    ILSpy can be controlled by other programs that send a WM_COPYDATA message to its main window.
+  --noactivate                        Do not activate the existing ILSpy instance. 
-    The message data must be an Unicode (UTF-16) string starting with "ILSpy:\r\n".
+                                      This option has no effect if a new ILSpy instance is being started.
-    All lines except the first ("ILSpy:") in that string are handled as command-line arguments.
+
-    There must be exactly one argument per line.
+Note on @ResponseFile.rsp: 
-    
+
-    That is, by sending this message:
+* The response file should contain the arguments, one argument per line (not space-separated!).
-        ILSpy:
+* Use it when the list of assemblies is too long to fit on the command line.
-        C:\Assembly.dll
-        /navigateTo:T:Type
-    The target ILSpy instance will open C:\Assembly.dll and navigate to the specified type.
-    
-    ILSpy will return TRUE (1) if it handles the message, and FALSE (0) otherwise.
-    The /separate option will be ignored; WM_COPYDATA will never start up a new instance.
-    The /noActivate option has no effect, sending WM_COPYDATA will never activate the window.
-    Instead, the calling process should use SetForegroundWindow().
-    If you use /list with WM_COPYDATA, you need to specify /singleInstance as well, otherwise
-    ILSpy will not handle the message if it has opened a different assembly list.
