What *precisely* do you want to know about Mono C#?

The command line arguments are described within the man page, and are
100% compatible with Microsoft .NET's CSC.EXE.  You could therefore
use .NET's help files for CSC.EXE to use mcs (just replace `CSC.EXE'
with `mcs').

If you want the language syntax, there is the ECMA 334 standard which is
available as a PDF:

	http://www.ecma-international.org/publications/files/ECMA-ST/Ecma-334.pdf

There are also numerous books on the C# language which should be
applicable toward C# (except for "external" class-library issues such as
System.Windows.Forms (being worked on), System.EnterpriseServices,
etc.).

If you want something more Mono Specific, there is Cross
Platform .NET[1] and Mono: A Developers Notebook [2]:
