The above command will drop a static library (Windows `.lib`, OSX/Linux `.a`) in `./bin/[configuration]/netstandard2.0/[RID]/publish/` folder and will have the same name as the folder in which your source file is present.

<summary>Extra requirements to link static libraries produced by .NET 7 (click to expand)</summary>
When linking the generated static library, it is important to also include additional framework dependencies in the linker settings, and add `NativeAOT_StaticInitialization` to the symbol table. This can be accomplished by appending the following flag to the linker settings:

* Windows: `/INCLUDE:NativeAOT_StaticInitialization`
* Linux: `-Wl,--require-defined,NativeAOT_StaticInitialization`
* macOS: `-Wl,-u,_NativeAOT_StaticInitialization`

</details>

You can find a list of additional framework libraries by publishing the project as shared library (`/p:NativeLib=Shared`) with detailed verbosity (`-v d`), and looking at the output generated by the `LinkNative` target.
