| .SH NAME |
| serialver \- Returns the serial version UID for specified classes\&. |
| .SH SYNOPSIS |
| .sp |
| .nf |
| |
| \fBserialver\fR [ \fIoptions\fR ] [ \fIclassnames\fR ] |
| .fi |
| .sp |
| .TP |
| \fIoptions\fR |
| The command-line options\&. See Options\&. |
| .TP |
| \fIclassnames\fR |
| The classes for which the \f3serialVersionUID\fR is to be returned\&. |
| .SH DESCRIPTION |
| The \f3serialver\fR command returns the \f3serialVersionUID\fR for one or more classes in a form suitable for copying into an evolving class\&. When called with no arguments, the \f3serialver\fR command prints a usage line\&. |
| .SH OPTIONS |
| .TP |
| -classpath \fIpath-files\fR |
| .br |
| Sets the search path for application classes and resources\&. Separate classes and resources with a colon (:)\&. |
| .TP |
| -show |
| .br |
| Displays a simple user interface\&. Enter the full class name and press either the \fIEnter\fR key or the \fIShow\fR button to display the \f3serialVersionUID\fR\&. |
| .TP |
| -J\fIoption\fR |
| .br |
| Passes \f3option\fR to the Java Virtual Machine, where option is one of the options described on the reference page for the Java application launcher\&. For example, \f3-J-Xms48m\fR sets the startup memory to 48 MB\&. See java(1)\&. |
| .SH NOTES |
| The \f3serialver\fR command loads and initializes the specified classes in its virtual machine, and by default, it does not set a security manager\&. If the \f3serialver\fR command is to be run with untrusted classes, then a security manager can be set with the following option: |
| .sp |
| .nf |
| \f3\-J\-Djava\&.security\&.manager\fP |
| .fi |
| .nf |
| \f3\fP |
| .fi |
| .sp |
| When necessary, a security policy can be specified with the following option: |
| .sp |
| .nf |
| \f3\-J\-Djava\&.security\&.policy=<policy file>\fP |
| .fi |
| .nf |
| \f3\fP |
| .fi |
