> Currently jcmd command GC.heap_dump only works with an additionally provided file name.
> Syntax : GC.heap_dump [options] <filename>
>
> In case the JVM has the XX - flag HeapDumpPath set, we should support an additional mode where the <filename> is optional.
> In case the filename is NOT set, we take the HeapDumpPath (file or directory);
>
> new syntax :
> GC.heap_dump [options] <filename> .. has precedence over second option
> GC.heap_dump [options] …in case -XX: HeapDumpPath=p is set
>
> This would be a simplification e.g. for support cases where a filename or directory is set at JVM startup with -XX: HeapDumpPath=p and writing to the path is intended/recommended for usage also in the jcmd case.
