.SH NAME
.PP
dotnet\-compile\-native \-\- Compiles IL binaries to native binaries.
.SH SYNOPSIS
.PP
dotnet compile [\-\-appdepsdk] [\-\-configuration] [\-\-ilcargs]
[\-\-linklib] [\-\-logpath] [\-\-mode] [\-\-out] [\-\-reference]
[\-\-temp\-out] [\-\-verbose]
.SH DESCRIPTION
.PP
The \f[C]compile\-native\f[] command compiles IL assemblies to native
machine code.
It is used by \f[C]dotnet\-compile\ \-\-native\f[].
.PP
The output is a native exe that conforms to the architecture of the
underlying operating system (i.e.
running on 64\-bit OS will produce a native 64\-bit exe).
This can be overriden via the \-\-arch switch and specifying the wanted
architecture.
The executable has a default extension of "" on Linux and OS X and
".exe" on Windows.
The source must include a `static void Main(string[] args) entry point
and specify compilationOptions.emitEntryPoint in the project.json.
.PP
Output files are written to the child \f[C]bin\f[] folder, which will be
created if it doesn\[aq]t exist.
Files will be overwritten as needed.
