Synopsis jmap [ options ] pid // local process jmap [ options ] executable core // core file jmap [ options ] [process-name@]hostname // remote processDescription jmap
prints memory usage information for a local or remote Java process or a Java core file. Depending on the option it is invoked with, jmap displays one of four memory usage reports. See the Options section for details. jmap can be started in three ways:- Specify the process id of a Java process running locally to obtain
configuration information about it. See jps to list local processes. - To obtain post-mortem configuration information from a core file,
specify the java executable that produced the core file and the core file itself on the command line. - To obtain configuration information about a Java process running
remotely, specify the name of the remote host, optionally prefixed by a remote process name and @ sign. jsadebugd must be running on the remote host.
In Java 5.0, jmap is experimental, unsupported, and not available on all platforms.Options When invoked with no options, jmap prints a memory map of the shared objects or libraries loaded by the VM. Other reports can be produced by using the options below. These options are mutually exclusive; only one may be specified.-heap Displays a summary of heap memory usage.-help, -h Prints a help message.-histo Displays a histogram of heap usage by class.-permstat Displays memory used by loaded classes, grouped by class loader.See also jps , jsadebugd |
