/**
 * A Java virtual machine.
 *
 * <p> A VirtualMachine represents a Java virtual machine to which this
 * Java virtual machine has attached. The Java virtual machine to which it is
 * attached is sometimes called the <i>target virtual machine, or target VM.
 * An application (typically a tool such as a managemet console or profiler) uses a
 * VirtualMachine to load an agent into the target VM. For example, a profiler tool
 * written in the Java Language might attach to a running application and load its
 * profiler agent to profile the running application. </p>
 *
 * <p> A VirtualMachine is obtained by invoking the {@link #attach(String) attach} method
 * with an identifier that identifies the target virtual machine. The identifier is
 * implementation-dependent but is typically the process identifier (or pid) in
 * environments where each Java virtual machine runs in its own operating system process.
 * Alternatively, a <code>VirtualMachine instance is obtained by invoking the
 * {@link #attach(VirtualMachineDescriptor) attach} method with a {@link
 * com.sun.tools.attach.VirtualMachineDescriptor VirtualMachineDescriptor} obtained
 * from the list of virtual machine descriptors returned by the {@link #list list} method.
 * Once a reference to a virtual machine is obtained, the {@link #loadAgent loadAgent},
 * {@link #loadAgentLibrary loadAgentLibrary}, and {@link #loadAgentPath loadAgentPath}
 * methods are used to load agents into target virtual machine. The {@link
 * #loadAgent loadAgent} method is used to load agents that are written in the Java
 * Language and deployed in a {@link java.util.jar.JarFile JAR file}. (See
 * {@link java.lang.instrument} for a detailed description on how these agents
 * are loaded and started). The {@link #loadAgentLibrary loadAgentLibrary} and
 * {@link #loadAgentPath loadAgentPath} methods are used to load agents that
 * are deployed either in a dynamic library or statically linked into the VM and make use of the <a
 * href="../../../../../../../../technotes/guides/jvmti/index.html">JVM Tools
 * Interface</a>. 

* * <p> In addition to loading agents a VirtualMachine provides read access to the * {@link java.lang.System#getProperties() system properties} in the target VM. * This can be useful in some environments where properties such as * <code>java.home, os.name, or os.arch are * used to construct the path to agent that will be loaded into the target VM. * * <p> The following example demonstrates how VirtualMachine may be used:

* * <pre> * * // attach to target VM * VirtualMachine vm = VirtualMachine.attach("2177"); * * // get system properties in target VM * Properties props = vm.getSystemProperties(); * * // construct path to management agent * String home = props.getProperty("java.home"); * String agent = home + File.separator + "lib" + File.separator * + "management-agent.jar"; * * // load agent into target VM * vm.loadAgent(agent, "com.sun.management.jmxremote.port=5000"); * * // detach * vm.detach(); * * </pre> * * <p> In this example we attach to a Java virtual machine that is identified by * the process identifier <code>2177. The system properties from the target * VM are then used to construct the path to a <i>management agent which is then * loaded into the target VM. Once loaded the client detaches from the target VM. </p> * * <p> A VirtualMachine is safe for use by multiple concurrent threads.
