+.SH NAME    
+serialver \- Returns the serial version UID for specified classes\&.
+.SH SYNOPSIS    
+.sp     
+.nf     
+
+\fBserialver\fR [ \fIoptions\fR ] [ \fIclassnames\fR ]
+.fi     
+.sp     
+.TP     
+\fIoptions\fR
+The command-line options\&. See Options\&.
+.TP     
+\fIclassnames\fR
+The classes for which the \f3serialVersionUID\fR is to be returned\&.
+.SH DESCRIPTION    
+The \f3serialver\fR command returns the \f3serialVersionUID\fR for one or more classes in a form suitable for copying into an evolving class\&. When called with no arguments, the \f3serialver\fR command prints a usage line\&.
+.SH OPTIONS    
+.TP
+-classpath \fIpath-files\fR
+.br
+Sets the search path for application classes and resources\&. Separate classes and resources with a colon (:)\&.
+.TP
+-show
+.br
+Displays a simple user interface\&. Enter the full class name and press either the \fIEnter\fR key or the \fIShow\fR button to display the \f3serialVersionUID\fR\&.
+.TP
+-J\fIoption\fR
+.br
+Passes \f3option\fR to the Java Virtual Machine, where option is one of the options described on the reference page for the Java application launcher\&. For example, \f3-J-Xms48m\fR sets the startup memory to 48 MB\&. See java(1)\&.
+.SH NOTES    
+The \f3serialver\fR command loads and initializes the specified classes in its virtual machine, and by default, it does not set a security manager\&. If the \f3serialver\fR command is to be run with untrusted classes, then a security manager can be set with the following option:
+.sp     
+.nf     
+\f3\-J\-Djava\&.security\&.manager\fP
+.fi     
+.nf     
+\f3\fP
+.fi     
+.sp     
+When necessary, a security policy can be specified with the following option:
+.sp     
+.nf     
+\f3\-J\-Djava\&.security\&.policy=<policy file>\fP
+.fi     
+.nf
