NAME

6       jstack - Prints Java thread stack traces for a Java process, core file,
7       or remote debug server. This command is experimental and unsupported.

SYNOPSIS

10       jstack [ options ] pid
11
12       jstack [ options ] executable core
13
14       jstack [ options ] [ server-id@ ] remote-hostname-or-IP
15
16
17       options
18              The command-line options. See Options.
19
20       pid    The process ID for which the stack trace is printed. The process
21              must be a Java process. To get a list of Java processes running
22              on a machine, use the jps(1) command.
23
24       executable
25              The Java executable from which the core dump was produced.
26
27       core   The core file for which the stack trace is to be printed.
28
29       remote-hostname-or-IP
30              The remote debug server hostname or IP address. See
31              jsadebugd(1).
32
33       server-id
34              An optional unique ID to use when multiple debug servers are
35              running on the same remote host.
36

DESCRIPTION

38       The jstack command prints Java stack traces of Java threads for a
39       specified Java process, core file, or remote debug server. For each
40       Java frame, the full class name, method name, byte code index (BCI),
41       and line number, when available, are printed. With the -m option, the
42       jstack command prints both Java and native frames of all threads with
43       the program counter (PC). For each native frame, the closest native
44       symbol to PC, when available, is printed. C++ mangled names are not
45       demangled. To demangle C++ names, the output of this command can be
46       piped to c++filt. When the specified process is running on a 64-bit
47       Java Virtual Machine, you might need to specify the -J-d64 option, for
48       example: jstack -J-d64 -m pid.
49
50       Note: This utility is unsupported and might not be available in future
51       release of the JDK. In Windows Systems where the dbgeng.dll file is not
52       present, Debugging Tools For Windows must be installed so these tools
53       work. The PATH environment variable needs to contain the location of
54       the jvm.dll that is used by the target process, or the location from
55       which the crash dump file was produced. For example:
56
57       set PATH=<jdk>\jre\bin\client;%PATH%

OPTIONS

61       -F
62              Force a stack dump when jstack [-l] pid does not respond.
63
64       -l
65              Long listing. Prints additional information about locks such as
66              a list of owned java.util.concurrent ownable synchronizers. See
67              the AbstractOwnableSynchronizer class description at
68              http://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/api/java/util/concurrent/locks/AbstractOwnableSynchronizer.html
69
70       -m
71              Prints a mixed mode stack trace that has both Java and native
72              C/C++ frames.
73
74       -h
75              Prints a help message.
76
77       -help
78              Prints a help message.
79

KNOWN BUGS

81       In mixed mode stack trace, the -m option does not work with the remote
82       debug server.
