SABLEVM(1) User Commands SABLEVM(1)NAME
Manual page of 'java' wrapper for SableVM - free (LGPL) Java virtual
machine
SYNOPSISjava-sablevm [OPTION]... CLASSNAME [ARGUMENT]...
DESCRIPTION
[-]-addclasspath ADDEDCLASSPATH
appends ADDEDCLASSPATH at the end of CLASSPATH (note that param‐
eters' order is important!)
[-]-cp CLASSPATH, [-]-classpath CLASSPATH, [-]-classpath=CLASSPATH
set CLASSPATH for program to be run (overrides value of CLASS‐
PATH environment variable)
-DPROPERTY=VALUE
set PROPERTY value to VALUE
-h, [-]-help, -?
show help (not implemented yet, see manual page)
-jar FILE
execute content of FILE as a jar type file (requires unzip util‐
ity installed); note that you can't specify CLASSNAME in this
case
[-]-showversion
show version (like -V) and continue execution
-v, [-]-verbose
enable all verbose options (might *flood* you if SableVM is com‐
piled with debugging options)
[-]-verbose-gc
enable verbose garbage collection
[-]-verbose[:]jni
enable verbose Java Native Interface
-V, [-]-version
show version information, including some compilation options
-Xbootclasspath:/pa/th, -Xbootclasspath/p:/pa/th, -Xbootclass‐
path/a:/pa/th
set the value of the boot classpath, prepend or append a value
to it
-Xgnuclasspath:/dir/ectory
sets the location of GNU Classpath libraries (not sablevm-class‐
path); NOTE: due to ever-changing nature of VM <-> Classpath
interfaces you might need to use the latest SableVM snapshot if
you want to run the latest GNU Classpath CVS directly with
SableVM; This option is meant mainly for Java Virtual Machine
and GNU Classpath developers and advanced users.
-- end of options marker - CLASSNAME (if any) and ARGUMENTS (if
any) should follow
RECOGNIZED ENVIRONMENTAL VARIABLES
CLASSPATH
used as the classpath for the program being started, unless -cp
was specified
LD_LIBRARY_PATH
used to search for location of native java libraries, incompati‐
ble with setting java.library.path property
OPTIONS IGNORED
[-]-debug, -Xdebug, (extended debug options)
-ss VALUE, (maximal stack size)
-ms VALUE, (initial heap size)
-ms VALUE, (maximum heap size)
-X[...], (other extended option)
-noverify, (turn off bytecode verifier)
-verbosemem, (verbose memory allocation)
-verbosegc, (verbose memory allocation)
-verbosejit, (verbose memory allocation)
-verbose[...], (other verbose option)
-vmdebug opt1[,opt2...], (other debug option)
All the above options are recognized by java-sablevm wrapper and
ignored. Their handling is either not implemented by the wrapper
or by sablevm binary (and thus they can not be translated to
options sablevm is able to recognize).
DEBUGGING PROPERTIES
The below properties are only usable when SableVM was compiled with
--enable-debugging-features, which is not the case ie. for binary dis‐
tributions.
sablevm.verbose.methods
when operating on a binary compiled with debugging features -
setting this property to true outputs names of every method that
is to be executed
sablevm.verbose.instructions
when operating on a binary compiled with debugging features -
setting this property to true outputs names of every instruction
that is to be executed (WARNING: expect flood!!!)
sablevm.verbose.synchronization
when operating on a binary compiled with debugging features -
setting this property to true causes SableVM to dump a stack
trace on every locking contention and on fat lock acquisition.
