<DD><B>java::instanceof</B> <I>javaObj type</I>

<P>
The <B>java::instanceof</B> command is used to determine if a Java
object is of a given type. The <I>javaObj</I> argument specifies an
object handle. The <I>type</I> argument specifies an
interface or class name.  If the <I>type</I> argument is
a class name, <B>java::instanceof</B> will return 1 if the <I>javaObj</I>
argument is an instance of <I>type</I> or an instance of a subclass
of <I>type</I>.  If the <I>type</I> argument is an interface name,
<B>java::instanceof</B> returns 1 if the
<I>javaObj</I> argument implements the interface. Otherwise,
<B>java::instanceof</B> returns 0.
