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.
\f3jmap\fP prints shared object memory maps or heap memory details of a given process or core file or a remote debug server. If the given process is running on a 64\-bit VM, you may need to specify the \f2\-J\-d64\fP option, e.g.:
When no option is used jmap prints shared object mappings. 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 similar to the Solaris \f3pmap\fP utility.
Dumps the Java heap in hprof binary format to filename. The \f2live\fP suboption is optional. If specified, only the live objects in the heap are dumped. To browse the heap dump, you can use jhat (Java Heap Analysis Tool) to read the generated file.
Prints a histogram of the heap. For each Java class, number of objects, memory size in bytes, and fully qualified class names are printed. VM internal class names are printed with '*' prefix. If the \f2live\fP suboption is specified, only live objects are counted.
Prints class loader wise statistics of permanent generation 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. In addition, the number and size of interned Strings are printed.
