.SH "DESCRIPTION"

.LP

.LP

.LP

The \f3javap\fP command disassembles a class file. Its output depends on the options used. If no options are used, \f3javap\fP prints out the package, protected, and public fields and methods of the classes passed to it. \f3javap\fP prints its output to stdout. For example, compile the following class declaration:

.RS 3

import java.applet.*;

.fl

public class DocFooter extends Applet {

.fl

                date = getParameter("LAST_UPDATED");

.fl

                email = getParameter("EMAIL");

.TP 3

\-verbose 

Prints stack size, number of \f2locals\fP and \f2args\fP for methods. 

.TP 3

\-classpath path 

Specifies the path \f3javap\fP uses to look up classes. Overrides the default or the CLASSPATH environment variable if it is set. Directories are separated by colons. Thus the general format for \f2path\fP is: 

.nf

\f3

.fl

   .:<your_path>

.fl
