jmap(1)jmap(1)NAMEjmap - memory map
SYNOPSISjmap [ option ] pid
jmap [ option ] executable core
jmap [ option ] [ server-id@ ] remote-hostname-or-IP
DESCRIPTIONjmap prints shared object memory maps or heap memory details of a given
process or core file or remote debug server.
NOTE - This utility is unsupported and may or may not be available in
future versions of the J2SE SDK. jmap is not currently available on
Windows platforms or on the Linux Itanium platform.
PARAMETERS
option Options are mutually exclusive. Option, if used, should‐
follow immediately after the command name.
pid process id for which the memory map is to be printed.
The process must be a Java process. To get a list of
Java processes running on a machine, jps may be used.
executable Java executable from which the core dump was produced.
core core file for which the memory map is to be printed.
remote-hostname-or-IP
remote debug server's (see jsadebugd) hostname or IP
address.
server-id optional unique id, if multiple debug servers are run‐
ning on the same remote host.
OPTIONS
<no option> When no option is used jmap prints shared object map‐
pings. For each shared object loaded in the target VM,
start address, the size of the mapping, and the full
path of the shared object file are printed. This is sim‐
ilar to the Solaris pmap utility.
-heap Prints a heap summary. GC algorithm used, heap configu‐
ration and generation wise heap usage are printed.
-histo Prints a histogram of the heap. For each Java class,
number of objects, memory size in bytes, and fully qual‐
ified class names are printed. VM internal class names
are printed with '*' prefix.
-permstat Prints class loader wise statistics of permanent genera‐
tion of Java heap. For each class loader, its name,
liveness, address, parent class loader, and the number
and size of classes it has loaded are printed.
-h Prints a help message.
-help Prints a help message.
