## Enum Constant Details

### RETAIN_CLASS_REFERENCE

public static final StackWalker.Option RETAIN_CLASS_REFERENCE
Retains `Class` object in `StackFrame`s walked by this `StackWalker`.

A `StackWalker` configured with this option will support `StackWalker.getCallerClass()` and `StackFrame.getDeclaringClass()`.

### DROP_METHOD_INFO

public static final StackWalker.Option DROP_METHOD_INFO
Drops the method information from `StackFrame`s walked by this `StackWalker`.

A `StackWalker` configured with this option will drop the method name, the method type, the line number, the bytecode index, the source file name and native method or not.

### SHOW_REFLECT_FRAMES

public static final StackWalker.Option SHOW_REFLECT_FRAMES
Shows all reflection frames.

By default, reflection frames are hidden. A `StackWalker` configured with this `SHOW_REFLECT_FRAMES` option will show all reflection frames that include `Method.invoke(Object, Object...)` and `Constructor.newInstance(Object...)` and their reflection implementation classes.

The `SHOW_HIDDEN_FRAMES` option can also be used to show all reflection frames and it will also show other hidden frames that are implementation-specific.

API Note:
  This option includes the stack frames representing the invocation of `Method` and `Constructor`. Any utility methods that are equivalent to calling `Method.invoke` or `Constructor.newInstance` such as `Class.newInstance` are not filtered or controlled by any stack walking option.

### SHOW_HIDDEN_FRAMES

public static final StackWalker.Option SHOW_HIDDEN_FRAMES
Shows all hidden frames.

A Java Virtual Machine implementation may hide implementation specific frames in addition to reflection frames. A `StackWalker` with this `SHOW_HIDDEN_FRAMES` option will show all hidden frames (including reflection frames).

## Method Details

### values

public static StackWalker.Option[] values()
Returns an array containing the constants of this enum class, in the order they are declared.

Returns:
  an array containing the constants of this enum class, in the order they are declared

### valueOf

public static StackWalker.Option valueOf(String name)
Returns the enum constant of this class with the specified name. The string must match exactly an identifier used to declare an enum constant in this class. (Extraneous whitespace characters are not permitted.)

Parameters:
  `name` - the name of the enum constant to be returned.
Returns:
  the enum constant with the specified name
Throws:
  `IllegalArgumentException` - if this enum class has no constant with the specified name
  `NullPointerException` - if the argument is null
