What java command/binary uses for printing out the readable java bytecode?

Question

I try to print out the readable java bytecode to see the monitorenter and monitorexit to study about the deadlock and synchronization instruction set but I don't know what the java command or binary that I should use to get the readable java bytecode.

Answer 1

Use the javap command, for example:

javap -v SomeClass.class

Example output:

19:23:56 (brettw) [dev] hikari$ javap -v HikariPool.class
