javap: Disassemble and list a built-in class file.

javap

$ javap java.${package}.${class}

try on your machine

The command "javap java.${package}.${class}" is used to display information about the specified Java class.

Here is a breakdown of the various components of the command:

"javap" is the command-line tool provided by Java's JDK (Java Development Kit) that disassembles and prints information about the public members of compiled Java classes.
"java.${package}.${class}" indicates the fully qualified name of the Java class you want to inspect. To use this command, you need to replace "${package}" with the actual package name and "${class}" with the name of the class you want to examine.

For example, if you have a Java class named "Employee" in the package "com.example", you would execute the command "javap java.com.example.Employee" to get information about the "Employee" class.
