.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     

\f3\fP

.fi     

.sp
