analyze.

.RS

.RE

.SH DESCRIPTION

.PP

The \f[CB]jdeps\f[R] command shows the package\-level or class\-level

dependencies of Java class files.

The input class can be a path name to a \f[CB]\&.class\f[R] file, a

directory, a JAR file, or it can be a fully qualified class name to

analyze all class files.

The options determine the output.

By default, the \f[CB]jdeps\f[R] command writes the dependencies to the

system output.

The command can generate the dependencies in DOT language (see the

\f[CB]\-dotoutput\f[R] option).

Specifies the destination directory for DOT file output.

If this option is specified, then the \f[CB]jdeps\f[R]command generates

one \f[CB]\&.dot\f[R] file for each analyzed archive named

\f[CB]archive\-file\-name.dot\f[R] that lists the dependencies, and also a

summary file named \f[CB]summary.dot\f[R] that lists the dependencies

among the archive files.

.RE

.TP

.B \f[CB]\-\-print\-module\-deps\f[R]

Same as \f[CB]\-\-list\-reduced\-deps\f[R] with printing a

Finds dependences matching the given module name (may be given multiple

times).

.RS

.RE

.TP

.B \f[CB]\-\-missing\-deps\f[R]

.SH OPTIONS TO FILTER CLASSES TO BE ANALYZED

.TP

.B \f[CB]\-include\f[R] \f[I]regex\f[R]

Restricts analysis to the classes matching pattern.

This option filters the list of classes to be analyzed.

It can be used together with \f[CB]\-p\f[R] and \f[CB]\-e\f[R], which apply

the pattern to the dependencies.

.RS

.RE

.TP

.B \f[CB]\-R\f[R] or \f[CB]\-\-recursive\f[R]

Recursively traverses all run\-time dependences.

The \f[CB]\-R\f[R] option implies \f[CB]\-filter:none\f[R].

If \f[CB]\-p\f[R], \f[CB]\-e\f[R], or \f[CB]\-f\f[R] options are specified,

only the matching dependences are analyzed.

.RE

.TP

.B \f[CB]\-I\f[R] or \f[CB]\-\-inverse\f[R]

Analyzes the dependences per other given options and then finds all

artifacts that directly and indirectly depend on the matching nodes.

This is equivalent to the inverse of the compile\-time view analysis and

the print dependency summary.

This option must be used with the \f[CB]\-\-require\f[R],

\f[CB]\-\-package\f[R], or \f[CB]\-\-regex\f[R] options.

.B \f[CB]\-\-compile\-time\f[R]

Analyzes the compile\-time view of transitive dependencies, such as the

compile\-time view of the \f[CB]\-R\f[R] option.

Analyzes the dependences per other specified options.

If a dependency is found from a directory, a JAR file or a module, all

classes in that containing archive are analyzed.
