# jinfo

Generates configuration information. This command is experimental and unsupported.

## Synopsis

jinfo [ option ] pid

jinfo [ option ] executable core

jinfo [ option ] [ servier-id ] remote-hostname-or-IP

option

  The command-line options. See Options.

pid

  The process ID for which the configuration information is to be printed. The process must be a Java process. To get a list of Java processes running on a machine, use the jps(1) command.

executable

  The Java executable from which the core dump was produced.

core

  The core file for which the configuration information is to be printed.

remote-hostname-or-IP

  The remote debug server `hostname` or `IP` address. See jsadebugd(1).

server-id

  An optional unique ID to use when multiple debug servers are running on the same remote host.

## Description

The `jinfo` command prints Java configuration information for a specified Java process or core file or a remote debug server. The configuration information includes Java system properties and Java Virtual Machine (JVM) command-line flags. If the specified process is running on a 64-bit JVM, then you might need to specify the `-J-d64` option, for example: `jinfo` `-J-d64 -sysprops pid`.

This utility is unsupported and might not be available in future releases of the JDK. In Windows Systems where `dbgeng.dll` is not present, Debugging Tools For Windows must be installed to have these tools working. The `PATH` environment variable should contain the location of the jvm.dll that is used by the target process or the location from which the crash dump file was produced. For example, `set PATH=%JDK_HOME%\jre\bin\client;%PATH%` .

## Options

-flag name

  Prints the name and value of the specified command-line flag.

-flag [+|-]name

  enables or disables the specified Boolean command-line flag.

-flag name=value

  Sets the specified command-line flag to the specified value.

-flags

  Prints command-line flags passed to the JVM.
