NAME
       serialver - serial version command

SYNOPSIS
       serialver [ -show ] [ classnames ] [ -J  option

DESCRIPTION
       The serialver command returns the serialVersionUID for one
       or more classes in a form suitable  for  copying  into  an
       evolving class.  When invoked with no arguments, it prints
       a usage line.

OPTIONS
       The following options are supported:

       -show          Displays a simple  user  interface.   Enter
                      the  full  class  name and press either the
                      Enter key or the Show button to display the
                      serialVersionUID.

       -J  option     Pass  option  to  the Java virtual machine,
                      where  option  is  one   of   the   options
                      described  on  the  man  page  for the java
                      application launcher, java(1). For example,
                      -J-Xms48m  sets  the  startup  memory to 48
                      megabytes. It is a common convention for -J
                      to  pass  options to the underlying virtual
                      machine.
