 A console application is available (can be used as DLL as well), using same syntax as ILMerge:
 ```
-Syntax: ILRepack.exe [options] /out:<path> <path_to_primary> [<other_assemblies> ...]
-
- - /help                displays this usage
- - /keyfile:<path>      specifies a keyfile to sign the output assembly
- - /keycontainer:<name> specifies a key container to sign the output assembly (takes precedence over /keyfile)
- - /log:<logfile>       enable logging (to a file, if given) (default is disabled)
- - /ver:M.X.Y.Z         target assembly version
- - /union               merges types with identical names into one
- - /ndebug              disables symbol file generation
- - /copyattrs           copy assembly attributes (by default only the primary assembly attributes are copied)
- - /attr:<path>         take assembly attributes from the given assembly file
- - /allowMultiple       when copyattrs is specified, allows multiple attributes (if type allows)
- - /target:kind         specify target assembly kind (library, exe, winexe supported, default is same as first assembly)
- - /targetplatform:P    specify target platform (v1, v1.1, v2, v4 supported)
- - /xmldocs             merges XML documentation as well
- - /lib:<path>          adds the path to the search directories for referenced assemblies (can be specified multiple times)
- - /internalize[:<excludefile>]  sets all types but the ones from the first assembly 'internal'. <excludefile> contains one regex per
-                                 line to compare against FullName of types NOT to internalize.
- - /renameInternalized  rename all internalized types
- - /excludeinternalizeserializable do not internalize types marked as Serializable
- - /delaysign           sets the key, but don't sign the assembly
+Syntax: ILRepack.exe [Options] /out:<path> <path_to_primary> [<other_assemblies> ...]

+ - /help              displays this help
+ - @<path>.rsp        response file containing additional arguments, one per line

+
+ - /out:<path>        target assembly path, symbol/config/doc files will be written here as well
+ - <path_to_primary>  primary assembly, gives the name, version to the merged one
+ - <other_assemblies> other assemblies to merge with the primary one
+ - /wildcards         allows (and resolves) file wildcards (e.g. *.dll) in input assemblies

+ - /internalizeassembly:<path>
+                      Internalize a specific assembly name (no extension).

+ - /internalize:<exclude_file>
+                      Each line is either a regex/ full type name not to internalize
+                      or an assembly name not to internalize (.dll extension optional)
+ - /renameinternalized
+                      rename each internalized type to a new unique name
+ - /excludeinternalizeserializable
