  77 .SH DESCRIPTION
  78 .PP
  79 The \f[CB]jps\f[R] command lists the instrumented Java HotSpot VMs on the
  80 target system.
  81 The command is limited to reporting information on JVMs for which it has
  82 the access permissions.
  83 .PP
  84 \f[B]Note:\f[R]
  85 .PP
  86 JDK 10 added support for using the Attach API when attaching to Java
  87 processes running in a separate docker process.
  88 However, the \f[CB]jps\f[R] tool cannot see JVM processes running in a
  89 separate docker instance.
  90 If you are trying to connect a Linux host with a Virtual Machine within
  91 a docker container, you must use tools such as \f[CB]ps\f[R] to look up
  92 the PID of the JVM and then specify the PID on the command line of the
  93 tools that accept the PID.
  94 .PP
  95 If the \f[CB]jps\f[R] command is run without specifying a \f[CB]hostid\f[R],
  96 then it searches for instrumented JVMs on the local host.
  97 If started with a \f[CB]hostid\f[R], then it searches for JVMs on the
  98 indicated host, using the specified protocol and port.
  99 A \f[CB]jstatd\f[R] process is assumed to be running on the target host.
 100 .PP
 101 The \f[CB]jps\f[R] command reports the local JVM identifier, or
 102 \f[CB]lvmid\f[R], for each instrumented JVM found on the target system.
 103 The \f[CB]lvmid\f[R] is typically, but not necessarily, the operating
 104 system\[aq]s process identifier for the JVM process.
 105 With no options, the \f[CB]jps\f[R] command lists each Java
 106 application\[aq]s \f[CB]lvmid\f[R] followed by the short form of the
 107 application\[aq]s class name or jar file name.
 108 The short form of the class name or JAR file name omits the class\[aq]s
 109 package information or the JAR files path information.
 110 .PP
 111 The \f[CB]jps\f[R] command uses the Java launcher to find the class name
 112 and arguments passed to the main method.
 113 If the target JVM is started with a custom launcher, then the class or
 114 JAR file name, and the arguments to the \f[CB]main\f[R] method aren\[aq]t
 115 available.
 116 In this case, the \f[CB]jps\f[R] command outputs the string
 117 \f[CB]Unknown\f[R] for the class name, or JAR file name, and for the
 118 arguments to the \f[CB]main\f[R] method.
 119 .PP
 120 The list of JVMs produced by the \f[CB]jps\f[R] command can be limited by
 121 the permissions granted to the principal running the command.
 122 The command lists only the JVMs for which the principal has access
 123 rights as determined by operating system\-specific access control
 124 mechanisms.
 125 .SH HOST IDENTIFIER
 126 .PP
 127 The host identifier, or \f[CB]hostid\f[R], is a string that indicates the
 128 target system.
 129 The syntax of the \f[CB]hostid\f[R] string corresponds to the syntax of a
 130 URI:
 131 .RS
 132 .PP
 133 [\f[I]protocol\f[R]\f[CB]:\f[R]][[\f[CB]//\f[R]]\f[I]hostname\f[R]][\f[CB]:\f[R]\f[I]port\f[R]][\f[CB]/\f[R]\f[I]servername\f[R]]
 134 .RE
 135 .TP
 136 .B \f[I]protocol\f[R]
 137 The communications protocol.
 138 If the \f[I]protocol\f[R] is omitted and a \f[I]hostname\f[R] isn\[aq]t
 139 specified, then the default protocol is a platform\-specific, optimized,
 140 local protocol.
 141 If the protocol is omitted and a host name is specified, then the
 142 default protocol is \f[CB]rmi\f[R].
 143 .RS
 144 .RE
 145 .TP
 146 .B \f[I]hostname\f[R]
 147 A host name or IP address that indicates the target host.
 148 If you omit the \f[I]hostname\f[R] parameter, then the target host is the
 149 local host.
 150 .RS
 151 .RE
 152 .TP
 153 .B \f[I]port\f[R]
 154 The default port for communicating with the remote server.
 155 If the \f[I]hostname\f[R] parameter is omitted or the \f[I]protocol\f[R]
 156 parameter specifies an optimized, local protocol, then the \f[I]port\f[R]
 157 parameter is ignored.
 158 Otherwise, treatment of the \f[I]port\f[R] parameter is
 159 implementation\-specific.
 160 For the default \f[CB]rmi\f[R] protocol, the \f[I]port\f[R] parameter
 161 indicates the port number for the \f[CB]rmiregistry\f[R] on the remote
 162 host.
 163 If the \f[I]port\f[R] parameter is omitted, and the \f[I]protocol\f[R]
 164 parameter indicates \f[CB]rmi\f[R], then the default \f[CB]rmiregistry\f[R]
 165 port (\f[CB]1099\f[R]) is used.
 166 .RS
 167 .RE
 168 .TP
 169 .B \f[I]servername\f[R]
 170 The treatment of this parameter depends on the implementation.
 171 For the optimized, local protocol, this field is ignored.
 172 For the \f[CB]rmi\f[R] protocol, this parameter is a string that
 173 represents the name of the RMI remote object on the remote host.
 174 See the \f[B]jstatd\f[R] command \f[CB]\-n\f[R] option.
 175 .RS
 176 .RE
 177 .SH OUTPUT FORMAT OF THE JPS COMMAND
 178 .PP
 179 The output of the \f[CB]jps\f[R] command has the following pattern:
 180 .RS
 181 .PP
 182 \f[I]lvmid\f[R] [ [ \f[I]classname\f[R] | \f[I]JARfilename\f[R] |
 183 \f[CB]"Unknown"\f[R]] [ \f[I]arg\f[R]* ] [ \f[I]jvmarg\f[R]* ] ]
 184 .RE
 185 .PP
 186 All output tokens are separated by white space.
 187 An \f[CB]arg\f[R] value that includes embedded white space introduces
 188 ambiguity when attempting to map arguments to their actual positional
 189 parameters.
 190 .PP
 191 \f[B]Note:\f[R]
 192 .PP
 193 It\[aq]s recommended that you don\[aq]t write scripts to parse
 194 \f[CB]jps\f[R] output because the format might change in future releases.
 195 If you write scripts that parse \f[CB]jps\f[R] output, then expect to
 196 modify them for future releases of this tool.
 197 .SH EXAMPLES
 198 .PP
 199 This section provides examples of the \f[CB]jps\f[R] command.

 212 The following example lists the instrumented JVMs on a remote host.
 213 This example assumes that the \f[CB]jstat\f[R] server and either the its
 214 internal RMI registry or a separate external \f[CB]rmiregistry\f[R]
 215 process are running on the remote host on the default port (port
 216 \f[CB]1099\f[R]).
 217 It also assumes that the local host has appropriate permissions to
 218 access the remote host.
 219 This example includes the \f[CB]\-l\f[R] option to output the long form of
 220 the class names or JAR file names.

 230 The following example lists the instrumented JVMs on a remote host with
 231 a nondefault port for the RMI registry.
 232 This example assumes that the \f[CB]jstatd\f[R] server, with an internal
 233 RMI registry bound to port \f[CB]2002\f[R], is running on the remote host.
 234 This example also uses the \f[CB]\-m\f[R] option to include the arguments
 235 passed to the \f[CB]main\f[R] method of each of the listed Java
 236 applications.
