/**
* Factory class to create JSDT Providers.
*
* This class contains methods to create an instance of a Provider
* interface which can be used to place tracepoints in an application.
* Method calls upon that instance trigger DTrace probes that
* are visible from DTrace scripts. Such calls have no other
* side effects in the application.
* <p>
* The DTrace script mechanisms for listing and matching probes will not see
* nor match any probes until the provider they reside in is created by a
* call to {@code createProvider()} (or {@code createProviders()}).
* <p>
* Providers that are created should be disposed of when they are no longer
* needed to free up system resources, at which point the associated
* DTrace probes will no longer be available to DTrace. One disposes a
* provider by calling
* {@link com.sun.tracing.Provider#dispose Provider.dispose()} on a
* created provider instance.
*
* @since 1.7

*
* @param cls A user-defined interface which extends {@code Provider}.

/**
* Creates multiple providers at once.
*
* This method batches together a number of provider instantiations.
* It works similarly
* to {@code createProvider}, but operates on a set of providers instead
* of one at a time. This method is in place since some DTrace
* implementations limit the number of times that providers can be
* created. When numerous providers can be created at once with this
* method, it will count only as a single creation point to DTrace, thus
* it uses less system resources.
* <p>
* All of the probes in the providers will be visible to DTrace after
* this call and all will remain visible until all of the providers
* are disposed.
* <p>
* The {@code moduleName} parameter will override any {@code ModuleName}
* annotation associated with any of the providers in the set.
* All of the probes created by this call will share the same
* module name.
* <p>
* @param providers a set of provider specification interfaces
* @param moduleName the module name to associate with all probes
* @return A map which maps the provider interface specification to an
* implementing instance.
* @throws java.lang.SecurityException if a security manager has been
* installed and it denies
* RuntimePermission("com.sun.dtrace.jsdt.createProvider")
