A bit of terminology here. ‘GC.run’ is called a ‘Diagnostic Command’. ‘jcmd’ is one way to invoke a Diagnostic Command. Another way is via a JMX MBean. With this in mind I think your references to ‘jcmd’ should be changed to ‘diagnostic command’ (or an abbreviation thereof). For example: _jcmd_gc_run -> _dcmd_gc_run.
