## Interface MemoryManagerMXBean

- All Superinterfaces:
    PlatformManagedObject
  All Known Subinterfaces:
    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.

    - #### getName

          String getName()

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

    - #### isValid

          boolean isValid()

      Tests if this memory manager is valid in the Java virtual machine. A memory manager becomes invalid once the Java virtual machine removes it from the memory system.
      Returns:
        `true` if the memory manager is valid in the Java virtual machine; `false` otherwise.

    - #### getMemoryPoolNames

          String[] getMemoryPoolNames()
