Usage: jlink <options> --module-path <modulepath> --add-modules <module>[,<module>...]
Possible options include:
--add-modules <mod>[,<mod>...] Root modules to resolve in addition to the
initial modules. <mod> can also be ALL-MODULE-PATH.
--bind-services Link in service provider modules and
their dependences
--compress <compress> Compress all resources in the output image:
Accepted values are:
zip-{0-9}, where zip-0 provides no compression,
and zip-9 provides the best compression.
Default is zip-6.
Deprecated values to be removed in a future release:
0: No compression. Use zip-0 instead.
1: Constant String Sharing
2: ZIP. Use zip-6 instead.
--disable-plugin <pluginname> Disable the plugin mentioned
--endian <little|big> Byte order of generated jimage
(default:native)
-h, --help, -? Print this help message
--ignore-signing-information Suppress a fatal error when signed
modular JARs are linked in the image.
The signature related files of the
signed modular JARs are not copied to
the runtime image.
--launcher <name>=<module>[/<mainclass>]
Add a launcher command of the given
name for the module and the main class
if specified
--limit-modules <mod>[,<mod>...] Limit the universe of observable
modules
--list-plugins List available plugins
-p, --module-path <path> Module path.
If not specified, the JDKs jmods directory
will be used, if it exists. If specified,
but it does not contain the java.base module,
the JDKs jmods directory will be added,
if it exists.
--no-header-files Exclude include header files
--no-man-pages Exclude man pages
--output <path> Location of output path
--save-opts <filename> Save jlink options in the given file
-G, --strip-debug Strip debug information
--suggest-providers [<name>,...] Suggest providers that implement the
given service types from the module path
-v, --verbose Enable verbose tracing
--version Version information
@<filename> Read options from file
