    66 Java binary heap dump file to be browsed\&. For a dump file that contains multiple heap dumps, you can specify which dump in the file by appending \f3#<number>\fR to the file name, for example, \f3myfile\&.hprof#3\fR\&.
    45 Options, if used, should follow immediately after the command name. 
    67 .SH DESCRIPTION    
    46 .TP 3
    68 The \f3jhat\fR command parses a Java heap dump file and starts a web server\&. The \f3jhat\fR command lets you to browse heap dumps with your favorite web browser\&. The \f3jhat\fR command supports predesigned queries such as show all instances of a known class \f3MyClass\fR, and Object Query Language (OQL)\&. OQL is similar to SQL, except for querying heap dumps\&. Help on OQL is available from the OQL help page shown by the \f3jhat\fR command\&. With the default port, OQL help is available at http://localhost:7000/oqlhelp/
    47 heap\-dump\-file 
    69 .PP
    48 Java binary heap dump file to be browsed. For a dump file that contains multiple heap dumps, you may specify which dump in the file by appending "#<number> to the file name, i.e. "foo.hprof#3". 
    70 There are several ways to generate a Java heap dump:
       
    71 .TP 0.2i    
       
    72 \(bu
       
    73 Use the \f3jmap -dump\fR option to obtain a heap dump at runtime\&. See jmap(1)\&.
       
    74 .TP 0.2i    
       
    75 \(bu
       
    76 Use the \f3jconsole\fR option to obtain a heap dump through \f3HotSpotDiagnosticMXBean\fR at runtime\&. See jconsole(1) and the \f3HotSpotDiagnosticMXBean\fR interface description at http://docs\&.oracle\&.com/javase/8/docs/jre/api/management/extension/com/sun/management/HotSpotDiagnosticMXBean\&.html
       
    77 .TP 0.2i    
       
    78 \(bu
       
    79 Heap dump is generated when an \f3OutOfMemoryError\fR is thrown by specifying the \f3-XX:+HeapDumpOnOutOfMemoryError\fR Java Virtual Machine (JVM) option\&.
       
    80 .TP 0.2i    
       
    81 \(bu
       
    82 Use the \f3hprof\fR command\&. See the HPROF: A Heap/CPU Profiling Tool at http://docs\&.oracle\&.com/javase/8/docs/technotes/samples/hprof\&.html

    85 -stack false|true
       
    86 .br
       
    87 Turns off tracking object allocation call stack\&. If allocation site information is not available in the heap dump, then you have to set this flag to \f3false\fR\&. The default is \f3true\fR\&.
       
    88 .TP
       
    89 -refs false|true
       
    90 .br
       
    91 Turns off tracking of references to objects\&. Default is \f3true\fR\&. By default, back pointers, which are objects that point to a specified object such as referrers or incoming references, are calculated for all objects in the heap\&.
       
    92 .TP
       
    93 -port \fIport-number\fR
       
    94 .br

    96 .TP
       
    97 -exclude \fIexclude-file\fR
       
    98 .br
       
    99 Specifies a file that lists data members that should be excluded from the reachable objects query\&. For example, if the file lists \f3java\&.lang\&.String\&.value\fR, then, then whenever the list of objects that are reachable from a specific object \f3o\fR are calculated, reference paths that involve \f3java\&.lang\&.String\&.value\fR field are not considered\&.
       
   100 .TP
       
   101 -baseline \fIexclude-file\fR
       
   102 .br
       
   103 Specifies a baseline heap dump\&. Objects in both heap dumps with the same object ID are marked as not being new\&. Other objects are marked as new\&. This is useful for comparing two different heap dumps\&.
       
   104 .TP
       
   105 -debug \fIint\fR
       
   106 .br
       
   107 Sets the debug level for this tool\&. A level of 0 means no debug output\&. Set higher values for more verbose modes\&.
       
   108 .TP
       
   109 -version

   121 -J\fIflag\fR
       
   122 .br
       
   123 Passes \f3flag\fR to the Java Virtual Machine on which the \f3jhat\fR command is running\&. For example, \f3-J-Xmx512m\fR to use a maximum heap size of 512 MB\&.
