public static Runtime getRuntime()
Runtime
are instance
methods and must be invoked with respect to the current runtime object.
Runtime
object associated with the current
Java application.public void exit(int status)
The virtual machine's shutdown sequence consists of two phases. In
the first phase all registered shutdown hooks
,
if any, are started in some unspecified order and allowed to run
concurrently until they finish. In the second phase all uninvoked
finalizers are run if finalization-on-exit
has been enabled. Once this is done the virtual machine halts
.
If this method is invoked after the virtual machine has begun its shutdown sequence then if shutdown hooks are being run this method will block indefinitely. If shutdown hooks have already been run and on-exit finalization has been enabled then this method halts the virtual machine with the given status code if the status is nonzero; otherwise, it blocks indefinitely.
The System.exit
method is the
conventional and convenient means of invoking this method.
status
- Termination status. By convention, a nonzero status code
indicates abnormal termination.

method does not permit

halt(int)
public void addShutdownHook(Thread hook)
The Java virtual machine shuts down in response to two kinds of events:
exit
(equivalently,
System.exit
) method is invoked, or
A shutdown hook is simply an initialized but unstarted
thread. When the virtual machine begins its shutdown sequence it will
start all registered shutdown hooks in some unspecified order and let
them run concurrently. When all the hooks have finished it will then
run all uninvoked finalizers if finalization-on-exit has been enabled.
Finally, the virtual machine will halt. Note that daemon threads will
continue to run during the shutdown sequence, as will non-daemon threads
if shutdown was initiated by invoking the exit
method.
Once the shutdown sequence has begun it can be stopped only by
invoking the halt
method, which forcibly
terminates the virtual machine.
Once the shutdown sequence has begun it is impossible to register a
new shutdown hook or de-register a previously-registered hook.
Attempting either of these operations will cause an
IllegalStateException
to be thrown.
Shutdown hooks run at a delicate time in the life cycle of a virtual machine and should therefore be coded defensively. They should, in particular, be written to be thread-safe and to avoid deadlocks insofar as possible. They should also not rely blindly upon services that may have registered their own shutdown hooks and therefore may themselves in the process of shutting down. Attempts to use other thread-based services such as the AWT event-dispatch thread, for example, may lead to deadlocks.
Shutdown hooks should also finish their work quickly. When a
program invokes exit
the expectation is
that the virtual machine will promptly shut down and exit. When the
virtual machine is terminated due to user logoff or system shutdown the
underlying operating system may only allow a fixed amount of time in
which to shut down and exit. It is therefore inadvisable to attempt any
user interaction or to perform a long-running computation in a shutdown
hook.
Uncaught exceptions are handled in shutdown hooks just as in any
other thread, by invoking the uncaughtException
method of the thread's ThreadGroup
object. The default implementation of this method
prints the exception's stack trace to System.err
and
terminates the thread; it does not cause the virtual machine to exit or
halt.
In rare circumstances the virtual machine may abort, that is, stop running without shutting down cleanly. This occurs when the virtual machine is terminated externally, for example with the SIGKILL signal on Unix or the TerminateProcess call on Microsoft Windows. The virtual machine may also abort if a native method goes awry by, for example, corrupting internal data structures or attempting to access nonexistent memory. If the virtual machine aborts then no guarantee can be made about whether or not any shutdown hooks will be run.

exit(int)
public void halt(int status)
This method should be used with extreme caution. Unlike the
exit
method, this method does not cause shutdown
hooks to be started and does not run uninvoked finalizers if
finalization-on-exit has been enabled. If the shutdown sequence has
already been initiated then this method does not wait for any running
shutdown hooks or finalizers to finish their work.
status
- Termination status. By convention, a nonzero status code
indicates abnormal termination. If the exit
(equivalently, System.exit
) method has already been invoked then this
status code will override the status code passed to that method.

public Process exec(String[] cmdarray, String[] envp, File dir) throws IOException
Given an array of strings cmdarray
, representing the
tokens of a command line, and an array of strings envp
,
representing "environment" variable settings, this method creates
a new process in which to execute the specified command.
This method checks that cmdarray
is a valid operating
system command. Which commands are valid is system-dependent,
but at the very least the command must be a non-empty list of
non-null strings.
If envp is null, the subprocess inherits the environment settings of the current process.
ProcessBuilder.start()
is now the preferred way to
start a process with a modified environment.
The working directory of the new subprocess is specified by dir. If dir is null, the subprocess inherits the current working directory of the current process.
If a security manager exists, its
checkExec
method is invoked with the first component of the array
cmdarray
as its argument. This may result in a
SecurityException
being thrown.
Starting an operating system process is highly system-dependent. Among the many things that can go wrong are:
In such cases an exception will be thrown. The exact nature
of the exception is system-dependent, but it will always be a
subclass of IOException
.

public int availableProcessors()
This value may change during a particular invocation of the virtual machine. Applications that are sensitive to the number of available processors should therefore occasionally poll this property and adjust their resource usage appropriately.

method may result in increasing the value returned
by freeMemory.
public long totalMemory()
Note that the amount of memory required to hold an object of any given type may be implementation-dependent.
public long maxMemory()
Long.MAX_VALUE
will be returned.
public void gc()
The name gc
stands for "garbage
collector". The virtual machine performs this recycling
process automatically as needed, in a separate thread, even if the
gc
method is not invoked explicitly.
The method System.gc()
is the conventional and convenient
means of invoking this method.
public void runFinalization()
finalize
methods of objects
that have been found to be discarded but whose finalize
methods have not yet been run. When control returns from the
method call, the virtual machine has made a best effort to
complete all outstanding finalizations.
The virtual machine performs the finalization process
automatically as needed, in a separate thread, if the
runFinalization
method is not invoked explicitly.
The method System.runFinalization()
is the conventional
and convenient means of invoking this method.

public void traceInstructions(boolean on)
boolean
argument is true
, this
method suggests that the Java virtual machine emit debugging
information for each instruction in the virtual machine as it
is executed. The format of this information, and the file or other
output stream to which it is emitted, depends on the host environment.
The virtual machine may ignore this request if it does not support
this feature. The destination of the trace output is system
dependent.
If the boolean
argument is false
, this
method causes the virtual machine to stop performing the
detailed instruction trace it is performing.
on

false
to disable this feature.public void traceMethodCalls(boolean on)
boolean
argument is true
, this
method suggests that the Java virtual machine emit debugging
information for each method in the virtual machine as it is
called. The format of this information, and the file or other output
stream to which it is emitted, depends on the host environment. The
virtual machine may ignore this request if it does not support
this feature.
Calling this method with argument false suggests that the virtual machine cease emitting per-call debugging information.

).
First, if there is a security manager, its checkLink
method is called with the filename
as its argument.
This may result in a security exception.
This is similar to the method loadLibrary(String)
, but it
accepts a general file name as an argument rather than just a library
name, allowing any file of native code to be loaded.
The method System.load(String)
is the conventional and
convenient means of invoking this method.
filename
- the file to load.
SecurityException

checkLink
method doesn't allow
loading of the specified dynamic library

public void loadLibrary(String libname)
First, if there is a security manager, its checkLink
method is called with the libname
as its argument.
This may result in a security exception.
The method System.loadLibrary(String)
is the conventional
and convenient means of invoking this method. If native
methods are to be used in the implementation of a class, a standard
strategy is to put the native code in a library file (call it
LibFile
) and then to put a static initializer:
within the class declaration. When the class is loaded and initialized, the necessary native code implementation for the native methods will then be loaded as well.static { System.loadLibrary("LibFile"); }
If this method is called more than once with the same library name, the second and subsequent calls are ignored.
libname
- the name of the library.
