+# .NET unmanaged API reference
+
+This section includes information on unmanaged APIs that can be used by managed-code-related applications, such as runtime hosts, compilers, disassemblers, obfuscators, debuggers, and profilers.
+
+These articles describe APIs that were introduced in .NET Core 2.0 and later versions, or APIs that can be used with both .NET Framework and .NET.
+
+For .NET Framework-specific unmanaged APIs, see [.NET Framework unmanaged API reference](../../framework/unmanaged-api/index.md).
+
+## In this section
+
+[Debugging](./debugging/index.md)\
+Describes the debugging API, which enables a debugger to debug code that runs in the common language runtime (CLR) environment.
+
+[Metadata](./metadata/index.md)\
+Describes the metadata API, which enables a client such as a compiler to generate or access a component's metadata without the types being loaded by the CLR.
+
+[Profiling](./profiling/index.md)\
+Describes the profiling API, which enables a profiler to monitor a program's execution by the CLR.

 # AssemblyFlags Enumeration
 
-Contains values that describe run-time features of an assembly.  
-  
-## Syntax  
-  
-```cpp  
-typedef enum {  
-    afImplicitExportedTypes = 0x0001,  
-    afImplicitResources = 0x0002,  
-    afNonSideBySideAppDomain = 0x0010,  
-    afNonSideBySideProcess = 0x0020,  
-    afNonSideBySideMachine = 0x0030  
-} AssemblyFlags;  
-```  
-  
-## Members  
-  
-|Member|Description|  
-|------------|-----------------|  
-|`afImplicitExportedTypes`|Specifies that exported type definitions are implicit within the files that comprise the assembly. In the .NET Framework versions 1.0 and 1.1, this value is always assumed to be set.|  
-|`afImplicitResources`|Specifies that resource definitions are implicit within the files that comprise the assembly. In the .NET Framework 1.0 and 1.1, this value is always assumed to be set.|  
-|`afNonSideBySideAppDomain`|Specifies that the assembly cannot execute with other versions if they are running in the same application domain.|  
-|`afNonSideBySideProcess`|Specifies that the assembly cannot execute with other versions if they are running in the same process.|  
-|`afNonSideBySideMachine`|Specifies that the assembly cannot execute with other versions if they are running on the same computer.|  
-  
-## Remarks  
-
- The values between 0x0010 and 0x0070, inclusive, are used to describe side-by-side compatibility features of the referenced assembly. If none of these values are set, the assembly is assumed to be side-by-side compatible.  
-  
-## Requirements

- **Platforms:** See [System Requirements](../../get-started/system-requirements.md).  
-  
- **Header:** MsCorEE.h  
-  
- **Library:** Included as a resource in MsCorEE.dll
