binfmtgcj-interpreter1

Binfmt_misc gcj handler

Usage

binfmtgcj-interpreter GCJ-java-source-file-name [command-line opions ...]

Overview

binfmtgcj-interpreter compiles a Java source file specified on the command-line using the GCJ compiler, and executes the resulting file.

It is designed to be used as a handler for binfmt_misc handler, which is a system used in Linux for handling arbitrary files as executables.

The command-line options are passed on to the compiled binary.

File magic

There is a requirement for Java source files to have the magic characters //BINFMTGCJ: at the beginning of the file.

That line also is used to specify the additional command-line options for C compiler.

Environment

GCJ

The compiler used. The default is to use gcj

BINFMTCTMPDIR

Temporary directory used for binary and execution.

Falls back to $TMPDIR $TEMPDIR or /tmp

BINFMTC_DEBUG

enables debug output if set.

BINFMTC_GCJ_OPTS

Additional GCJ options. Use BINFMTC_DEBUG to verify the options being passed on to gcc.

The default is -O2 -Wall
