Monodoc

Monodoc is a set of libraries and applications for viewing and editing Mono class library documentation. Monodoc is part of the Mono Documentation Project.

Viewing The Documentation

Online Documentation

You can view the complete documentation library online (only API documentation) at http://docs.go-mono.com/.

Mod (Command-Line Documentation Viewer)

To browse API documentation from a shell terminal, you can use the `mod’ command. Use it to lookup types, or see the members of a type, displayed in a text-only web browser.

To get all the types in a namespace:

mod N:System
mod N:Gtk

To see the members of a type, run mod like:

mod T:System.Collections.ArrayList

You can restrict the output to just members by adding /M:

mod T:System.Collections.ArrayList/M

You can also use C, P, F, and E for constructors, properties, fields, and events.

To get one method, copy-and-paste the URL from the output in the above:

mod 'M:System.Collections.ArrayList.ToArray(System.Type)'
