We have a cheerful multitude of syntaxes for sub options: some use words without leading dashes:
Compiler.CodeHeap_Analytics VM.metaspace VM.classloaders ManagementAgent.start VM.native_memory e.g. VM.metaspace show-classes, VM.classloaders verbose some use words with dashes (-all, -verbose) GC.class_stats -csv some use single letters with dashes (-i, -s) VM.class_hierarchy -i -- Long term, should we clearly define a single syntax and stick with it? Preferably gnu-tools style, so single-dash-with-letters, double-dash-with-words? -- Short term, for the not yet released commands SAP added: Compiler.CodeHeap_Analytics VM.metaspace VM.classloaders we still can change the format before releasing. Should we? E.g. move to the "words with dashes" format the majority seems to use: VM.metaspace -show-classes, VM.classloaders -verbose ? Thanks, Thomas
