The command 'arch' will help too. On Intel/AMD architecture, you'll get i386 for 32bit and x86_64 for 64bit processors.

2. Linux
Where can I get a list that maps the each Linux version to corresponding 32/64 bits model?
e.g.
OS -> Model (ILP32, LP64, ...)
RHLE3 -> ?
RHLE4 -> ?
RHLE5 -> ?
...
It would be better if there is such a list that contains most of current UNIX OS versions.

5. Solaris
Not really a Unix question as such :o, but what advantages or disadvantages are there between using 32bit or 64bit applications on a T5220 running Solaris 10? What about mixing them e.g. 64 bit app using 32 bit libraries or vice versa? (1 Reply)

Hi.
I need to migrate the whole unix environment from a Unix mp-ras 32 bit to a Linux Suse 64 bit.
1) can i use cpio to copy the data?
2) can i just copy the users from unix to linux or do i have to create them by hand
3) are there any other concerns i should worry about?
thanx (1 Reply)

SETARCH(8) Linux Programmer's Manual SETARCH(8)
NAME
setarch - change reported architecture in new program environment and set personality flags
SYNOPSIS
setarch arch [options] [program [arguments]]
arch [options] [program [arguments]]
DESCRIPTION
setarch This utility currently only affects the output of uname -m. For example, on an AMD64 system, running 'setarch i386 program' will
cause 'program' to see i686 (or other relevant arch) instead of x86_64 as machine type. It also allows to set various personality options.
The default program is /bin/sh.
OPTIONS
-v, --verbose
Be verbose.
-h, --help
Display help (it is also displayed when setarch takes no arguments).
-3, --3gb
Specifies that processes should use a maximum of 3GB of address space on systems where it is supported (ADDR_LIMIT_3GB).
-B, --32bit
Turns on ADDR_LIMIT_32BIT.
-F, --fdpic-funcptrs
Userspace function pointers point to descriptors (turns on FDPIC_FUNCPTRS).
-I, --short-inode
Turns on SHORT_INODE.
-L, --addr-compat-layout
Changes the way virtual memory is allocated (turns on the ADDR_COMPAT_LAYOUT).
-R, --addr-no-randomize
Disables randomization of the virtual address space (turns on ADDR_NO_RANDOMIZE).
-S, --whole-seconds
Turns on WHOLE_SECONDS.
-T, --sticky-timeouts
Turns on STICKY_TIMEOUTS.
-X --read-implies-exec
Turns on READ_IMPLIES_EXEC.
-Z, mmap-page-zero
Turns on MMAP_PAGE_ZERO.
EXAMPLES
setarch ppc32 rpmbuild --target=ppc --rebuild foo.src.rpm
setarch ppc32 -v -vL3 rpmbuild --target=ppc --rebuild bar.src.rpm
setarch ppc32 --32bit rpmbuild --target=ppc --rebuild foo.src.rpm
