/**
* Provides the API to attach to a JavaTM
* virtual machine.
*
* A tool, written in the Java Language, uses this API to attach to a target
* virtual machine (VM) and load its tool agent into the target VM. For
* example, a management console might have a management agent which it uses
* to obtain management information from instrumented objects in a Java
* virtual machine. If the management console is required to manage
* an application that is running in a virtual machine that does not include
* the management agent, then this API can be used to attach to the target
* VM and load the agent.
