gij - GNU interpreter for Java bytecode

SYNOPSIS

gij [OPTION] ... JARFILE [ARGS...]

gij [-jar] [OPTION] ... CLASS [ARGS...]
[-cp path] [-classpath path]
[-Dname[=value]...]
[-ms=number] [-mx=number]
[-Xargument] [-verbose] [-verbose:class]
[--showversion] [--version] [--help][-?]

DESCRIPTION

"gij" is a Java bytecode interpreter included with "libgcj". "gij" is not available on
every platform; porting it requires a small amount of assembly programming which has not
been done for all the targets supported by gcj.

The primary argument to "gij" is the name of a class or, with "-jar", a jar file. Options
before this argument are interpreted by "gij"; remaining options are passed to the
interpreted program.

If a class name is specified and this class does not have a "main" method with the
appropriate signature (a "static void" method with a "String[]" as its sole argument),
then "gij" will print an error and exit.

If a jar file is specified then "gij" will use information in it to determine which class'
"main" method will be invoked.

"gij" will invoke the "main" method with all the remaining command-line options.

Note that "gij" is not limited to interpreting code. Because "libgcj" includes a class
loader which can dynamically load shared objects, it is possible to give "gij" the name of
a class which has been compiled and put into a shared library on the class path.

OPTIONS

-cp path
-classpath path
Set the initial class path. The class path is used for finding class and resource
files. If specified, this option overrides the "CLASSPATH" environment variable.
Note that this option is ignored if "-jar" is used.

-Dname[=value]
This defines a system property named name with value value. If value is not specified
then it defaults to the empty string. These system properties are initialized at the
program's startup and can be retrieved at runtime using the
"java.lang.System.getProperty" method.

-ms=number
Equivalent to "-Xms".

-mx=number
Equivalent to "-Xmx".

-noverify
Do not verify compliance of bytecode with the VM specification. In addition, this
option disables type verification which is otherwise performed on BC-ABI compiled
code.

-X
-Xargument
Supplying "-X" by itself will cause "gij" to list all the supported "-X" options.
Currently these options are supported:

-Xmssize
Set the initial heap size.

-Xmxsize
Set the maximum heap size.

-Xsssize
Set the thread stack size.

Unrecognized "-X" options are ignored, for compatibility with other runtimes.

-jar
This indicates that the name passed to "gij" should be interpreted as the name of a
jar file, not a class.

--help
-? Print help, then exit.

--showversion
Print version number and continue.

--fullversion
Print detailed version information, then exit.

--version
Print version number, then exit.

-verbose
-verbose:class
Each time a class is initialized, print a short message on standard error.

"gij" also recognizes and ignores the following options, for compatibility with existing
application launch scripts: "-client", "-server", "-hotspot", "-jrockit", "-agentlib",
"-agentpath", "-debug", "-d32", "-d64", "-javaagent", "-noclassgc", "-verify", and
"-verifyremote".
