isainfo
isainfo(1) User Commands isainfo(1)
NAME
isainfo - describe instruction set architectures
SYNOPSIS
isainfo [ [-v] [-b | -n | -k] | [-x]]
DESCRIPTION
The isainfo utility is used to identify various attributes of the instruction set architectures supported on the currently running system.
Among the questions it can answer are whether 64-bit applications are supported, or whether the running kernel uses 32-bit or 64-bit device
drivers.
When invoked with no options, isainfo prints the names of the native instruction sets for applications supported by the current version of
the operating system. These are a subset of the list returned by isalist(1). The subset corresponds to the basic applications environments
supported by the currently running system.
OPTIONS
The following options are supported:
-b Prints the number of bits in the address space of the native instruction set.
-k Prints the name of the instruction set(s) used by the operating system kernel components such as device drivers and STREAMS modules.
-n Prints the name of the native instruction set used by portable applications supported by the current version of the operating system.
-v When used with the -b, -k or -n options, prints more detailed information.
-x Prints instruction extensions to the native ABI which are supported by the platform.
EXAMPLES
Example 1 Invoking isainfo on a 32-bit x86 Platform
The following example invokes isainfo on a 32-bit x86 platform:
example% isainfo -v
32-bit i386 applications
example% isainfo -k
i386
Example 2 Invoking isainfo on a System Running the 64-bit Operating System on a 64-bit SPARC Processor
The following example invokes isainfo on a system running the 64-bit operating system on a 64-bit SPARC processor:
example% isainfo
sparcv9 sparc
example% isainfo -n
sparcv9
example% isainfo -v
64-bit sparcv9 applications
32-bit sparc applications
example% isainfo -vk
64-bit sparcv9 kernel modules
Example 3 Invoking isainfo -x on an AMD Opteron CPU
The following example invokes isainfo with the -x option on an AMD Opteron CPU:
example% isainfo -x
i386: fpu tsc cx8 sep cmov mmx ammx a3dnow a3dnowx fxsr sse sse2 pause
EXIT STATUS
Non-zero Options are not specified correctly, or the command is unable to recognize attributes of the system on which it is running. An
error message is printed to stderr.
