This is an initial clean up of help for jlink/jimage/jmod. More work is
required (like unifying the options tooling), but comments welcome. — Jim
/Projects/jdk9-dev% jmod --help
Usage: jmod (create|list|describe|hash) <OPTIONS> <jmod-file>
Main operation modes:
create - Creates a new jmod archive
list - Prints the names of all the entries
describe - Prints the module details
hash - Records hashes of tied modules.
Option Description
------ -----------
--class-path <path> Application jar files|dir containing
classes
--cmds <path> Location of native commands
--config <path> Location of user-editable config files
--dry-run Dry run of hash mode
--exclude <pattern-list> Exclude files matching the supplied
comma separated pattern list, each
element using one the following
forms: <glob-pattern>, glob:<glob-
pattern> or regex:<regex-pattern>
--hash-modules <regex-pattern> Compute and record hashes to tie a
packaged module with modules
matching the given <regex-pattern>
and depending upon it directly or
indirectly. The hashes are recorded
in the JMOD file being created, or a
JMOD file or modular JAR on the
module path specified the jmod hash
command.
--help Print this usage message
--libs <path> Location of native libraries
--main-class <class-name> Main class
--module-version <module-version> Module version
--modulepath, --mp <path> Module path
--os-arch <os-arch> Operating system architecture
--os-name <os-name> Operating system name
--os-version <os-version> Operating system version
--version Version information
@<filename> Read options from the specified file
/Projects/jdk9-dev% jimage --help
Usage: jimage <extract | info | list | verify> <options> jimage...
extract - Extract all jimage entries and place in a directory specified
by the --dir=<directory> (default=.) option.
info - Prints detailed information contained in the jimage header.
list - Prints the names of all the entries in the jimage. When used with
--verbose, list will also print entry size and offset attributes.
verify - Reports on any .class entries that dont verify as classes.
Possible options include:
--dir Target directory for extract directive
--include <pattern-list> Pattern list for filtering list or extract
entries.w
--fullversion Print full version information
--help Print usage message
--verbose Listing prints entry size and offset
attributes
--version Print version information
For options requiring a <pattern-list>, the value will be a comma separated
list of elements each using one the following forms:
<glob-pattern>
glob:<glob-pattern>
regex:<regex-pattern>
@<filename> where filename is the name of a file containing patterns to be
used, one pattern per line
