# Interface MemoryManagerMXBean

All Superinterfaces:
  `PlatformManagedObject`

All Known Subinterfaces:
  `GarbageCollectorMXBean, GarbageCollectorMXBean`

public interface MemoryManagerMXBean extends PlatformManagedObject
The management interface for a memory manager. A memory manager manages one or more memory pools of the Java virtual machine.

A Java virtual machine has one or more memory managers. An instance implementing this interface is an MXBean that can be obtained by calling the `ManagementFactory.getMemoryManagerMXBeans()` method or from the `platform MBeanServer` method.

The `ObjectName` for uniquely identifying the MXBean for a memory manager within an MBeanServer is:

> `java.lang:type=MemoryManager``,name=`manager's name

It can be obtained by calling the `PlatformManagedObject.getObjectName()` method.

    Returns the name representing this memory manager.
    Returns:
      the name of this memory manager.
