.SH DESCRIPTION
.PP
The \f[CB]javap\f[R] command disassembles one or more class files.
The output depends on the options used.
When no options are used, the \f[CB]javap\f[R] command prints the
protected and public fields, and methods of the classes passed to it.
.PP
The \f[CB]javap\f[R] command isn\[aq]t multirelease JAR aware.
Using the class path form of the command results in viewing the base
entry in all JAR files, multirelease or not.
Using the URL form, you can use the URL form of an argument to specify a
specific version of a class to be disassembled.
.PP
The \f[CB]javap\f[R] command prints its output to \f[CB]stdout\f[R].
.PP
\f[B]Note:\f[R]
.PP
In tools that support \f[CB]\-\-\f[R] style options, the GNU\-style
options can use the equal sign (\f[CB]=\f[R]) instead of a white space to
separate the name of an option from its value.
