  51 .SH NAME    
  52 jstack \- Prints Java thread stack traces for a Java process, core file, or remote debug server\&. This command is experimental and unsupported\&.

  66 .fi     
  67 .sp     
  68 .TP     
  69 \fIoptions\fR
  70 The command-line options\&. See Options\&.
  71 .TP     
  72 \fIpid\fR
  73 The process ID for which the stack trace is printed\&. The process must be a Java process\&. To get a list of Java processes running on a machine, use the jps(1) command\&.
  74 .TP     
  75 \fIexecutable\fR
  76 The Java executable from which the core dump was produced\&.
  77 .TP     
  78 \fIcore\fR
  79 The core file for which the stack trace is to be printed\&.
  80 .TP     
  81 \fIremote-hostname-or-IP\fR
  82 The remote debug server \f3hostname\fR or \f3IP\fR address\&. See jsadebugd(1)\&.



  83 .TP     
  84 \fIserver-id\fR
  85 An optional unique ID to use when multiple debug servers are running on the same remote host\&.














  86 .SH DESCRIPTION    
  87 The \f3jstack\fR command prints Java stack traces of Java threads for a specified Java process, core file, or remote debug server\&. For each Java frame, the full class name, method name, byte code index (BCI), and line number, when available, are printed\&. With the \f3-m\fR option, the \f3jstack\fR command prints both Java and native frames of all threads with the program counter (PC)\&. For each native frame, the closest native symbol to PC, when available, is printed\&. C++ mangled names are not demangled\&. To demangle C++ names, the output of this command can be piped to \f3c++filt\fR\&. When the specified process is running on a 64-bit Java Virtual Machine, you might need to specify the \f3-J-d64\fR option, for example: \f3jstack -J-d64 -m pid\fR\&.
  88 .PP
  89 \fINote:\fR This utility is unsupported and might not be available in future release of the JDK\&. In Windows Systems where the dbgeng\&.dll file is not present, Debugging Tools For Windows must be installed so these tools work\&. The \f3PATH\fR environment variable needs to contain the location of the jvm\&.dll that is used by the target process, or the location from which the crash dump file was produced\&. For example:
  90 .sp     
  91 .nf     
  92 \f3set PATH=<jdk>\ejre\ebin\eclient;%PATH%\fP
  93 .fi     
  94 .nf     
  95 \f3\fP
  96 .fi     
  97 .sp

  26 .SH NAME
  27 .PP
  28 jstack \- print Java stack traces of Java threads for a specified Java
  29 process
  30 .SH SYNOPSIS
  31 .PP
  32 \f[B]Note:\f[R] This command is experimental\ and unsupported.
  33 .PP
  34 \f[CB]jstack\f[R] [\f[I]options\f[R]] \f[I]pid\f[R]






















  35 .TP
  36 .B \f[I]options\f[R]
  37 This represents the \f[CB]jstack\f[R] command\-line options.
  38 See \f[B]Options for the jstack Command\f[R].
  39 .RS
  40 .RE
  41 .TP
  42 .B \f[I]pid\f[R]
  43 The process ID for which the stack trace is printed.
  44 The process must be a Java process.
  45 To get a list of Java processes running on a machine, use either the
  46 \f[CB]ps\f[R] command or, if the JVM processes are not running in a
  47 separate docker instance, the \f[B]jps\f[R] command.
  48 .RS
  49 .PP
  50 \f[B]Note:\f[R] JDK 10 has added support for using the Attach API when
  51 attaching to Java processes running in a separate docker process.
  52 However, the \f[CB]jps\f[R] command will not list the JVM processes that
  53 are running in a separate docker instance.
  54 If you are trying to connect a Linux host with a Virtual Machine that is
  55 in a docker container, you must use tools such as \f[CB]ps\f[R] to look up
  56 the PID of the JVM.
  57 .RE
  58 .SH DESCRIPTION

  59 .PP
  60 The \f[CB]jstack\f[R] command prints Java stack traces of Java threads for
  61 a specified Java process.
  62 For each Java frame, the full class name, method name, byte code index
  63 (BCI), and line number, when available, are printed.
  64 C++ mangled names aren\[aq]t demangled.
  65 To demangle C++ names, the output of this command can be piped to
  66 \f[CB]c++filt\f[R].
  67 When the specified process is running on a 64\-bit JVM, you might need
  68 to specify the \f[CB]\-J\-d64\f[R] option, for example:
  69 \f[CB]jstack\ \-J\-d64\f[R] \f[I]pid\f[R].
  70 .PP
  71 \f[B]Note:\f[R]
  72 .PP
  73 This command is unsupported and might not be available in future
  74 releases of the JDK.
  75 In Windows Systems where the \f[CB]dbgeng.dll\f[R] file isn\[aq]t present,
  76 the Debugging Tools for Windows must be installed so that these tools
  77 work.
  78 The \f[CB]PATH\f[R] environment variable needs to contain the location of
  79 the \f[CB]jvm.dll\f[R] that is used by the target process, or the location
  80 from which the core dump file was produced.
  81 .SH OPTIONS FOR THE JSTACK COMMAND
  82 .TP
  83 .B \f[CB]\-l\f[R]
  84 The long listing option prints additional information about locks.
  85 .RS
  86 .RE
  87 .TP
  88 .B \f[CB]\-h\f[R] or \f[CB]\-help\f[R]
