NAME

       ikvm - java virtual machine executable using the CLI runtime

SYNOPOSIS

       ikvm [ options ] class [ args ...  ]

       ikvm [ options ] -jar jarfile [ args ...  ]

DESCRIPTION

       IKVM  is an implentation of the Java for the Common Language Infrastructure (CLI) runtime.  It includes a
       byte code JIT compiler/verifier to translate Java byte code to CIL and GNU Classpath to provide the  Java
       class  libraries.  ikvm program performs this translation and execution at run time, the ikvmc(1) program
       provides a static compilation to CIL.

       This program is intended to act as a drop-in replacement for the java program that executes java bytecode
       (with or without a JIT) and as such, takes a subset of that tool's options and arguments as given here.

       ikvm  operates  in  two  modes, either on a fully-qualified Java classname or on a jar file with the -jar
       jarfile option given.  Any remaining arguments args ...  are passed to the main class.

CLASS SEARCHING

       Classes are searched for in the current directory if no -cp / -classpath option, no -jar  option  and  no
       CLASSPATH environment variable is set.

       If only CLASSPATH is set and no ptions are given only that is used to find classes, the current directory
       is not used unless CLSSPATH contains .

       If -cp / -classpath is given, CLASSPATH is ignored.

       If -jar is given, the jar file is put at the  start  of  the  classpath  taken  from  either  the  -cp  /
       -classpath option or from CLASSPATH.

       See also the description for the -Xbootclasspath option below.

OPTIONS

       -cp path

       -classpath path
              Set  the JVM classpath to search for application classes and resources.  The path is a sequence of
              directories and zip/jar files separated by : (; on Windows).  If this option is  given  more  than
              once, only the last one applies.

       -Dname=value
              Set a system property name to value.

       -ea[:packagename ... | :classname]

       -enableassertions[:packagename ... | :classname]
              Enable assertions.

       -da[:packagename ... |:classname]

       -disableassertions[:packagename ... | :classname]
              Disable assertions.

       -version
              Display IKVM and runtime version

       -Xbootclasspath:path
              Set  the  boot  JVM  classpath  for  bootstrap  classes  and resources.  The path is a sequence of
              directories and zip/jar files separated by : (; on Windows).  If this option is  given  more  than
              once, only the last one applies.

       -Xbreak
              Trigger a user defined breakpoint at startup

       -Xmethodtrace:string
              Builds method trace into the specified output methods

       -Xsave Save the generated assembly for debugging.

       -Xtime Time the execution.

       -Xtrace:name
              Displays all tracepoints with the given name.

       -Xwait Keep the process hanging around after exit.

       -? -help
              Display a summary of the usage.
