.SH NAME
SableVM \- manual page for SableVM - free (LGPL) Java Virtual Machine
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B sablevm
[\fIOPTION\fR]... \fICLASSNAME \fR[\fIARGUMENT\fR]...
.SH DESCRIPTION
\fINOTE:\fR
.B sablevm
command is NOT command-line compatible with the
.B java
command.  The
.B sablevm
command uses GNU style of parameters, and ignores the environmental variables
often used by Java programs, like CLASSPATH.  If this is not what you want
you should look at
.B java-sablevm
command which is meant to be command-line compatible with the
.B java
command.

.SH AUXILIARY PROPERTIES
It is possible to place multiple elements on boot classpath. Each element may
be either a top directory of class tree or a .jar (or zip) file.  SableVM
offers flexible setup of boot class path thru usage of the following properties.
.TP
\fBsablevm.boot.class.path\fR
changes boot classpath
.TP
\fBsablevm.boot.class.path.prepend\fR
prepends entries to default or set boot classpath
.TP
\fBsablevm.boot.class.path.append\fR
appends entries to default or set boot classpath
.TP
\fBsablevm.boot.library.path\fR
changes native libraries patch which are used by boot classpath
.TP
(WARNING: the two last properties above are very fragile; expect
\fIcannot create vm\fR messages if you use them in a wrong way.

.SH MEMORY USAGE CONTROL PROPERTIES
There exist a number of properties that can be used to tune memory usage of SableVM. \
Normally it is NOT needed to use any of them, as SableVM will take care of \
allocating as much memory, as your application needs and of freeing the memory \
when it is not needed anymore. Still, there are some situations when you want to \
tune or limit maximum memory usage.

The general pattern of available memory controlling properties is:

\fBsablevm.[stack,classloader.heap].size.[min,max,increment]\fR

which tranlates into the following set of available properties:
.TP
\fBsablevm.stack.size.min\fR
.TP
\fBsablevm.stack.size.max\fR
.TP
\fBsablevm.stack.size.increment\fR
.TP
\fBsablevm.heap.size.min\fR
.TP
\fBsablevm.heap.size.max\fR
.TP
\fBsablevm.heap.size.increment\fR
.TP
\fBsablevm.classloader.size.min\fR
.TP
\fBsablevm.classloader.size.max\fR
.TP
\fBsablevm.classloader.size.increment\fR

These properties allow for control over \fR\fIjava stack\fR, \fR\fIjava heap\fR, and \fR\fIjava class loader\fR.

Meaning of the \fR\fImin\fR, \fR\fImax\fR, \fR\fIincrement\fR suffixes is the following:

\fB...min\fR initial size in bytes,

\fB...max\fR maximal size in bytes (hard limit); 0 means "no limit",

\fB...increment\fR step by which the amount of memory is incremented when \
needed, up to the limit specified in \fR\fImax\fR, if any; 0 means "fixed \
size" (no changes allowed, \fR\fImin\fR is used).
.SH DEBUGGING PROPERTIES
.TP
\fBsablevm.verbose.methods\fR
when operating on a binary compiled with debugging features - setting this property
to \fR\fItrue\fR outputs names of every method that is to be executed
.TP
\fBsablevm.verbose.instructions\fR
when operating on a binary compiled with debugging features - setting this property
to \fR\fItrue\fR outputs names of every instruction that is to be executed
(WARNING: expect flood!!!)
.TP
\fBsablevm.verbose.synchronization\fR
when operating on a binary compiled with debugging features - setting this property
to \fR\fItrue\fR causes SableVM to dump a stack trace on every locking contention
and on fat lock acquisition.
