specifiy9ing new JVM options??

[daniel zhu]

Hi,
Can anyone point me to some resources on explaining specifying new JVM
options? For example, some java profilers have some jvm options like
-XRunprofilerDLL or -Xrunpri . How are these things handled?
I know the basics of proifiler implementing a profiler agent talking
to jvm through jvmpi. But I am not sure how they start themselves and
load the tobeprofiled app. And it seems we can also "attach"
themselves when the app is running provided the pid is known for the
target jvm. How is this working?

Thanks.
