JARWRAPPER(1)

💖 NAME 💖

jarwrapper — the lil wrapper script that runs jar files via binfmt, no cap ✨

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

jarwrapper <Jar-file> [arguments]

---

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

okay so bestie, here's the tea ☕ — jarwrapper is the wrapper script that handles running executable jar-files via binfmt. that's literally its whole job and it ate 💅

real talk tho: normally you would not run this directly. it's giving backstage crew, not main character energy 🙈

what it does is it executes the java program inside Jar-file — and how does it know which one that is? iconic question 🫶 it's determined by the Main-Class attribute in the MANIFEST, periodt. then it passes arguments straight through to the java program, as one does ✨

and not to be dramatic but jarwrapper is lowkey nosy in the best way — it looks for a number of other attributes in the MANIFEST too 👀 please refer to javahelper's tutorials for more information, because there's lore and you deserve to know it 💜
