    32  * Management interface for the diagnostic commands for the HotSpot Virtual Machine.
       
    33  *
       
    34  * <p>The {@code DiagnosticCommandMBean} is registered to the
       
    35  * {@linkplain java.lang.management.ManagementFactory#getPlatformMBeanServer
       
    36  * platform MBeanServer} as are other platform MBeans.
       
    37  *
       
    38  * <p>The {@link javax.management.ObjectName ObjectName} for uniquely identifying
       
    39  * the diagnostic MBean within an MBeanServer is:
       
    40  * <blockquote>
       
    41  *    {@code com.sun.management:type=DiagnosticCommand}
       
    42  * </blockquote>
       
    43  *
       
    44  * <p>This MBean is a {@link javax.management.DynamicMBean DynamicMBean}
       
    45  * and also a {@link javax.management.NotificationEmitter}.
       
    46  * The {@code DiagnosticCommandMBean} is generated at runtime and is subject to
       
    47  * modifications during the lifetime of the Java virtual machine.
       
    48  *
       
    49  * A <em>diagnostic command</em> is represented as an operation of
       
    50  * the {@code DiagnosticCommandMBean} interface. Each diagnostic command has:
       
    51  * <ul>
       
    52  * <li>the diagnostic command name which is the name being referenced in
       
    53  *     the HotSpot Virtual Machine</li>
       
    54  * <li>the MBean operation name which is the
       
    55  *     {@linkplain javax.management.MBeanOperationInfo#getName() name}
       
    56  *     generated for the diagnostic command operation invocation.
       
    57  *     The MBean operation name is implementation dependent</li>
       
    58  * </ul>
       
    59  *
       
    60  * The recommended way to transform a diagnostic command name into a MBean
       
    61  * operation name is as follows:
       
    62  * <ul>
       
    63  * <li>All characters from the first one to the first dot are set to be
       
    64  *      lower-case characters</li>
       
    65  * <li>Every dot or underline character is removed and the following
       
    66  *   character is set to be an upper-case character</li>
       
    67  * <li>All other characters are copied without modification</li>
       
    68  * </ul>
       
    69  *
       
    70  * <p>The diagnostic command name is always provided with the meta-data on the
       
    71  * operation in a field named {@code dcmd.name} (see below).
       
    72  *
       
    73  * <p>A diagnostic command may or may not support options or arguments.
       
    74  * All the operations return {@code String} and either take
       
    75  * no parameter for operations that do not support any option or argument,
       
    76  * or take a {@code String[]} parameter for operations that support at least
       
    77  * one option or argument.
       
    78  * Each option or argument must be stored in a single String.
       
    79  * Options or arguments split across several String instances are not supported.
       
    80  *
       
    81  * <p>The distinction between options and arguments: options are identified by
       
    82  * the option name while arguments are identified by their position in the
       
    83  * command line. Options and arguments are processed in the order of the array
       
    84  * passed to the invocation method.
       
    85  *
       
    86  * <p>Like any operation of a dynamic MBean, each of these operations is
       
    87  * described by {@link javax.management.MBeanOperationInfo MBeanOperationInfo}
       
    88  * instance. Here's the values returned by this object:
       
    89  * <ul>
       
    90  *  <li>{@link javax.management.MBeanOperationInfo#getName() getName()}
       
    91  *      returns the operation name generated from the diagnostic command name</li>
       
    92  *  <li>{@link javax.management.MBeanOperationInfo#getDescription() getDescription()}
       
    93  *      returns the diagnostic command description
       
    94  *      (the same as the one return in the 'help' command)</li>
       
    95  *  <li>{@link javax.management.MBeanOperationInfo#getImpact() getImpact()}
       
    96  *      returns <code>ACTION_INFO</code></li>
       
    97  *  <li>{@link javax.management.MBeanOperationInfo#getReturnType() getReturnType()}
       
    98  *      returns {@code java.lang.String}</li>
       
    99  *  <li>{@link javax.management.MBeanOperationInfo#getDescriptor() getDescriptor()}
       
   100  *      returns a Descriptor instance (see below)</li>
       
   101  * </ul>
       
   102  *
       
   103  * <p>The {@link javax.management.Descriptor Descriptor}

   105  * meta-data for a JMX element. A field is a name and an associated value.
