User Commands arch(1)
NAME
arch - display the architecture of the current host
SYNOPSIS
arch [-k | archname]
DESCRIPTION
The arch utility displays the application architecture of
the current host system. Due to extensive historical use of
this command without any options, all SunOS 5.x SPARC based
systems will return "sun4" as their application architec-
ture. Use of this command is discouraged. See NOTES section
below.
Systems can be broadly classified by their architectures,
which define what executables will run on which machines. A
distinction can be made between kernel architecture and
application architecture (or, commonly, just "architec-
ture"). Machines that run different kernels due to underly-
ing hardware differences may be able to run the same appli-
cation programs.
OPTIONS
-k Displays the kernel architecture, such as sun4u.
This defines which specific SunOS kernel will run
on the machine, and has implications only for pro-
grams that depend on the kernel explicitly (for
example, ps(1)).
OPERANDS
The following operand is supported:
archname Use archname to determine whether the appli-
cation binaries for this application archi-
tecture can run on the current host system.
The archname must be a valid application
architecture, such as sun4, i86pc, and so
forth.
If application binaries for archname can run
on the current host system, TRUE (0) is
returned. Otherwise, FALSE (1) is returned.
EXIT STATUS
The following exit values are returned:
0 Successful completion.
