26/**
27 * Provides the API to attach to a Java™ virtual machine.
28 * <p>
29 * A tool, written in the Java Language, uses this API to attach to a target
30 * virtual machine (VM) and load its tool agent into the target VM. For
31 * example, a management console might have a management agent which it uses
32 * to  obtain management information from instrumented objects in a Java
33 * virtual machine. If the management console is required to manage
34 * an application that is running in a virtual machine that does not include
35 * the management agent, then this API can be used to attach to the target
36 * VM and load the agent.
