"jcmd 0 Thread.print" - Generating Thread Dump
This section provides a tutorial example on how to use the 'jcmd 0 Thread.print' command to generate a thread dump of a given JVM.
Another nice diagnostic command is the "jcmd 0 Thread.print" command, which generates the thread dump of a given JVM:
herong> jcmd LongSleep Thread.print | more 7192: Full thread dump Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (10.0.1+10 mixed mode): Threads class SMR info: _java_thread_list=0x0000000023d4d420, length=11, elements={...} "main" #1 prio=5 os_prio=0 tid=0x0000000000490800 nid=0x1780 waiting on condition [0x0000000001ebf000] java.lang.Thread.State: TIMED_WAITING (sleeping) at java.lang.Thread.sleep(java.base@10.0.1/Native Method) at LongSleep.main(LongSleep.java:9) "Reference Handler" #2 daemon prio=10 os_prio=2 tid=0x0000000021de6800 nid=0x2bb8 waiting on condition [0x00000000232ff000] java.lang.Thread.State: RUNNABLE at java.lang.ref.Reference.waitForReferencePendingList(...) at java.lang.ref.Reference.processPendingReferences(...)

As I expected, this is a quick way to generate a thread dump.
