[`sc` online tutorial](https://arthas.aliyun.com/doc/arthas-tutorials?language=en&id=command-sc)

::: tip
Search classes loaded by JVM.
:::

`sc` stands for search class. This command can search all possible classes loaded by JVM and show their information. The supported options are: `[d]`、`[E]`、`[f]` and `[x:]`.

## Supported Options

|                  Name | Specification                                                                                                                                                                                                                    |
| --------------------: | :------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
|       _class-pattern_ | pattern for the class name                                                                                                                                                                                                       |
|      _method-pattern_ | pattern for the method name                                                                                                                                                                                                      |
|                 `[d]` | print the details of the current class, including its code source, class specification, its class loader and so on.<br/>If a class is loaded by more than one class loader, then the class details will be printed several times |
|                 `[E]` | turn on regex match, the default behavior is wildcards match                                                                                                                                                                     |
|                 `[f]` | print the fields info of the current class, MUST be used with `-d` together                                                                                                                                                      |
|                `[x:]` | specify the depth of recursive traverse the static fields, the default value is '0' - equivalent to use `toString` to output                                                                                                     |
|                `[c:]` | The hash code of the special class's classLoader                                                                                                                                                                                 |
| `[classLoaderClass:]` | The class name of the ClassLoader that executes the expression.                                                                                                                                                                  |
|                `[n:]` | Maximum number of matching classes with details (100 by default)                                                                                                                                                                 |

::: tip
_class-patten_ supports full qualified class name, e.g. com.taobao.test.AAA and com/taobao/test/AAA. It also supports the format of 'com/taobao/test/AAA', so that it is convenient to directly copy class name from the exception stack trace without replacing '/' to '.'.

::: tip
`sc` turns on matching sub-class match by default, that is, `sc` will also search the sub classes of the target class too. If exact-match is desired, pls. use `options disable-sub-class true`.
