Here is the jmap usage message when Serviceability Agent (SA) is present:
Usage:
jmap [option] <pid>
(to connect to running process)
jmap [option] <executable <core>
(to connect to a core file)
jmap [option] [server_id@]<remote server IP or hostname>
(to connect to remote debug server)
where <option> is one of:
<none> to print same info as Solaris pmap
-heap to print java heap summary
-histo[:live] to print histogram of java object heap; if the "live"
suboption is specified, only count live objects
-permstat to print permanent generation statistics
-finalizerinfo to print information on objects awaiting finalization
-dump:<dump-options> to dump java heap in hprof binary format
dump-options:
live dump only live objects; if not specified,
all objects in the heap are dumped.
format=b binary format
file=<file> dump heap to <file>
Example: jmap -dump:live,format=b,file=heap.bin <pid>
-F force. Use with -dump:<dump-options> <pid> or -histo
to force a heap dump or histogram when <pid> does not
respond. The "live" suboption is not supported
in this mode.
-h | -help to print this help message
-J<flag> to pass <flag> directly to the runtime system
Here is the jmap usage message when the Serviceability Agent (SA)
is not present:
Usage:
jmap -histo <pid>
(to connect to running process and print histogram of java object heap
jmap -dump:<dump-options> <pid>
(to connect to running process and dump java heap)
dump-options:
format=b binary default
file=<file> dump heap to <file>
Example: jmap -dump:format=b,file=heap.bin <pid>
This second usage message is incorrect because the '-histo:live' option
is available and works when SA is not present. It is entirely likely
that other valid options are also missing from second usage message.
