sc
==

> 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|

> *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 '.'. <br/><br/>
> `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`.

### Usage

For example, use `sc -df class-name` to view class's static fields:

```shell
$ sc -df org.apache.commons.lang.StringUtils
