How to write GC log to named pipe

Question

I want to configure the gc log so that it can write to a named pipe?

Does anyone know whether it is possible?

Answer 1

A named pipe is a type of file and you can write to it like any other file.

Try

-Xloggc:/my/named/pipe

Note: you want to make sure the pipe is being read or it could cause the JVM to stop.
