30/**
31 * The management interface for the thread system of
32 * the Java virtual machine.
33 *
34 * <p> A Java virtual machine has a single instance of the implementation
35 * class of this interface.  This instance implementing this interface is
36 * an <a href="ManagementFactory.html#MXBean">MXBean</a>
37 * that can be obtained by calling
38 * the {@link ManagementFactory#getThreadMXBean} method or
39 * from the {@link ManagementFactory#getPlatformMBeanServer
40 * platform MBeanServer} method.
41 *
42 * <p>The {@code ObjectName} for uniquely identifying the MXBean for
43 * the thread system within an MBeanServer is:
44 * <blockquote>
45 *    {@link ManagementFactory#THREAD_MXBEAN_NAME
46 *           java.lang:type=Threading}
47 * </blockquote>
48 *
49 * It can be obtained by calling the
50 * {@link PlatformManagedObject#getObjectName} method.
51 *
52 * <h3>Thread ID</h3>
53 * Thread ID is a positive long value returned by calling the
54 * {@link java.lang.Thread#getId} method for a thread.
55 * The thread ID is unique during its lifetime.  When a thread
56 * is terminated, this thread ID may be reused.
57 *
58 * <p> Some methods in this interface take a thread ID or an array
59 * of thread IDs as the input parameter and return per-thread information.
60 *
61 * <h3>Thread CPU time</h3>
62 * A Java virtual machine implementation may support measuring
63 * the CPU time for the current thread, for any thread, or for no threads.
64 *
65 * <p>
66 * The {@link #isThreadCpuTimeSupported} method can be used to determine
67 * if a Java virtual machine supports measuring of the CPU time for any
68 * thread.  The {@link #isCurrentThreadCpuTimeSupported} method can
69 * be used to determine if a Java virtual machine supports measuring of
70 * the CPU time for the current  thread.
71 * A Java virtual machine implementation that supports CPU time measurement
72 * for any thread will also support that for the current thread.
73 *
74 * <p> The CPU time provided by this interface has nanosecond precision
75 * but not necessarily nanosecond accuracy.
76 *
77 * <p>
78 * A Java virtual machine may disable CPU time measurement
79 * by default.
80 * The {@link #isThreadCpuTimeEnabled} and {@link #setThreadCpuTimeEnabled}
81 * methods can be used to test if CPU time measurement is enabled
82 * and to enable/disable this support respectively.
83 * Enabling thread CPU measurement could be expensive in some
84 * Java virtual machine implementations.
85 *
86 * <h3>Thread Contention Monitoring</h3>
87 * Some Java virtual machines may support thread contention monitoring.
88 * When thread contention monitoring is enabled, the accumulated elapsed
89 * time that the thread has blocked for synchronization or waited for
90 * notification will be collected and returned in the
91 * <a href="ThreadInfo.html#SyncStats">{@code ThreadInfo}</a> object.
92 * <p>
93 * The {@link #isThreadContentionMonitoringSupported} method can be used to
94 * determine if a Java virtual machine supports thread contention monitoring.
95 * The thread contention monitoring is disabled by default.  The
96 * {@link #setThreadContentionMonitoringEnabled} method can be used to enable
97 * thread contention monitoring.
98 *
99 * <h3>Synchronization Information and Deadlock Detection</h3>
100 * Some Java virtual machines may support monitoring of
101 * {@linkplain #isObjectMonitorUsageSupported object monitor usage} and
102 * {@linkplain #isSynchronizerUsageSupported ownable synchronizer usage}.
103 * The {@link #getThreadInfo(long[], boolean, boolean)} and
104 * {@link #dumpAllThreads} methods can be used to obtain the thread stack trace
105 * and synchronization information including which
106 * {@linkplain LockInfo <i>lock</i>} a thread is blocked to
107 * acquire or waiting on and which locks the thread currently owns.
108 * <p>
109 * The {@code ThreadMXBean} interface provides the
110 * {@link #findMonitorDeadlockedThreads} and
111 * {@link #findDeadlockedThreads} methods to find deadlocks in
112 * the running application.
113 *
