 对于只有唯一实例的 ClassLoader 还可以通过`--classLoaderClass`指定 class name，使用起来更加方便：
 
 `--classLoaderClass` 的值是 ClassLoader 的类名，只有匹配到唯一的 ClassLoader 实例时才能工作，目的是方便输入通用命令，而`-c <hashcode>`是动态变化的。

+### 反编译时指定dump class文件目录 
+
+`jad`反编译需要将class dump到文件，默认会dump到logback.xml中配置的log目录下，使用`-d/--directory`可以将文件dump到指定目录。

 For classloader with only one instance, it can be specified by `--classLoaderClass` using class name, which is more convenient to use.
 
 The value of `--classloaderclass` is the class name of classloader. It can only work when it matches a unique classloader instance. The purpose is to facilitate the input of general commands. However, `-c <hashcode>` is dynamic.

+### Decompile with specified directory for dumpping class
+
+Decompile class with `jad` need to dump corresponding classes into files. The default directory for dumpping classes is the directory of log file specified in logback.xml, we can use `-d/--directory` to specify the directory for dummping class.

+```java
