In this post we will see how we can use the JVMTI GetSystemProperties to get a list of system properties.

```cpp{numberLines: true}

#include "jvmti.h"

#include

JNIEXPORT jint JNICALL Agent_OnLoad(JavaVM jvm, char options, void reserved) { std::cout << "JVMTIGetSystemProperties :: Agent Initiated!!"; jvmtiEnv jvmti; jvmtiError error; jint result; jint count = 0; char **props;

result = jvm->GetEnv((void **) &jvmti, JVMTI_VERSION_1_2);

if (result != JNI_OK) {
    std::cerr << "Unable to access JVMTI!!!";
}

error = jvmti->GetSystemProperties(&count, &props);
if (error != JVMTI_ERROR_NONE) return JNI_FALSE;

std::cout << "JVMTI Agent (System Property) \n";
for (int i = 0; i < count; i++) {
    char *value;
    error = jvmti->GetSystemProperty(props[i], &value);
    if (error != JVMTI_ERROR_NONE) return JNI_FALSE;
    std::cout << props[i] << " = " << value << "\n";
}
return JNI_OK;

}

add_library(JVMTIGetSystemProps SHARED ${SOURCE_FILES})

Build the code and add the library to a running JVM using the agentlib config parameter.
