NAME
       rmiregistry - Java remote object registry

SYNOPSIS
       rmiregistry [ port ]

DESCRIPTION
       The rmiregistry command creates and starts a remote object registry on the specified port on the cur-rent current
       rent host.  If port number is omitted, the registry is started on port 1099.  The rmiregistry command
       produces no output and is typically run in the background.  For example:

              example% rmiregistry &

       A  remote object registry is a bootstrap naming service that is used by RMI servers on a host to bind
       remote objects to names.  Clients can then look up remote objects and make remote method invocations.

       The  registry  is  typically  used to locate the first remote object on which an application needs to
       invoke methods.  That object in turn provides application-specific support for finding other objects.

       The  methods  of the java.rmi.registry.LocateRegistry class are used to get a registry operating on a
       particular host or host and port.

       The URL-based methods of the java.rmi.Naming class operate on a registry and can be used to look up a
       remote  object,  bind a simple (string) name to a remote object, rebind a new name to a remote object
       (overriding the old binding), unbind a remote object, and list the URLs bound in the registry.

OPTIONS
       The following option is supported:

       -Joption       Used in conjunction with any java option, this option passes option (no spaces between
                      -J and option) on to the java interpreter.
