janosvm man page
janosvm - a virtual machine to execute Java(tm) bytecodes.
SYNOPSIS
janosvm [options...] classname [arguments...]
DESCRIPTION
janosvm loads and executes the bytecode in the class
classname, starting with the main method (which must be
static and public). Any arguments given after classname
are passed to the main method. Additional classes are
loaded as needed.
Unlike other virtual machines, the JanosVM supports multi-
ple, separate processes (called "teams" in JanosVM) within
a single VM. Based on KaffeOS (and thus Kaffe), the
JanosVM supports per-team separate heaps, per-team garbage
collection threads, inter-team thread migration, safe
cross-team reference objects, and a spiffy tutorial.
Designed to support asynchronous termination of uncoopera-
tive or malicious Java applications, the JanosVM provides
robust and scalable multi-process support within a single
Java virtual machine.
OPTIONS
-help Give a short usage message.
-version
Print the version number.
-fullversion
Print verbose version info
-ss size
Set the maximum stack size to size
-ms size
Set the initial heap size to size
-mx size
Set the maximum heap size to size
-as size
Set the heap increment to size
-classpath path
Override the default search path for class files
with path.
-addclasspath path
Appends the given path to the current classpath
setting. Multiple instances of this flag may be
given.
Set property to the given value. Some properties
are used by the VM at startup. All can be fetched
at runtime through the method System.getProperty().
-noverify
Do not verify any bytecode.
-noclassgc
Disable garbage collection of classes.
-jar The startup class, classname, names a JAR file.
-v Enable verbose output.
-verbosegc
Print messages during garbage collection.
-verbosejit
Print messages during JIT code generation.
-verbosemem
Print detailed memory allocation statistics.
-vmstats flag{,flag}
Turn on VM statistcs. Use ``-vmstats list'' for a
list of available flags.
-name Register this VM instance as name.
-jsiprovider name
Specify where the jsi provider should listen.
-jsitcpport port
Listen on port for TCP JSI messages.
-jsifile name
Setup a JSI link through files with name as their
basename.
-config file
Use file for initial configuration of the JanosVM.
-noexit
The JanosVM continues even if only non-dameon
threads are running. Useful for JSI-controlled VMs
that would otherwise exit.
-vmdebug flag{,flag}
Enable VM debugging. Use ``-vmdebug list'' to get a
list of available flags.
Disable deadlock detection.
-Xxprof
Enable cross language profiling. See FAQ/FAQ.xpro-
filer for details.
-Xxprof_syms filename
Name of the profiling symbols file. Defaults to
kaffe-jit-symbols.s.
-Xxprof_gmon filename
Base name for gmon files. Defaults to xgmon.out
-Xxprof_format formatname
Undocumented.
-Xxdebug
Generate a debugging symbols file usable by gdb.
See FAQ/FAQ.xdebugging for details.
-Xxdebug_file format name
Name of the debugging symbols file. Defaults to
xdb.as.
-Xfeedback
The file name to write feedback data to.
ENVIRONMENT
CLASSPATH
A colon-separated list of directories in which to
search for .class files.
KAFFEHOME
Base directory of kaffe installation.
KAFFE_DEBUG
Optional value naming the debugger to start JanosVM
up under. Performs debugger-specific initializa-
tion to ensure that the JanosVM command line is
used by the debugger. Can be ``gdb'', ``DDD'', or
``Emacs'' (for Emacs GDB mode).
LD_LIBRARY_PATH
A colon-separated list of directories in which to
search for libraries. See ld.so(1) for details.
This needs to be set if Kaffe's shared libraries
are installed in a location not part of the dynamic
loader's default search path.
FILES
There are native libraries, jar files, class files, shell
