The tools below are used by the Shared Source CLI 2.0 (SSCLI) build process. These tools are intended for use with the SSCLI build process and are only documented sufficiently for that purpose although they include more advanced functionality.
An overview of the SSCLI build process can be found in building_sscli.html.
The path to the root directory of the SSCLI source tree is designated below as sscli20, which is the default root directory created when the archive is expanded. If the SSCLI source were unpacked on Microsoft® Windows®, this would represent a path such as C:\sscli20.

|---|---|---|
| Build Output Manager (binplace.exe) | Manages the temporary locations of built files within the source tree and a final build output location. |
