Thank you. @jdksjolen No CSR needed: from another related PR - "We do not use CSR requests with jcmd changes as they are deemed diagnostic commands - ref JDK-8203682" But yes the `jcmd` manpage should be updated ref: https://docs.oracle.com/en/java/javase/19/docs/specs/man/jcmd.html though I'm worried we may not have kept it up to date! That requires an Oracle engineer to apply the changes to the jcmd.md markdown sources in our repo, and then regenerate the `jcmd.1` manpage file. The doc update can be split into a separate doc sub-task so that the main PR is not held up. (And we probably need an audit to see if any other updates are missing - which is painful.) ------------- PR Comment: https://git.openjdk.org/jdk/pull/16301#issuecomment-1803267397
