Determine whether OS is 32 bit 0r 64

Hi Team,

I need to determine whether my OS is 32 bit or 64 bit.
For linux I am running :-
Code:
bash$ uname -a
Linux xxxx 2.6.32-358.el6.x86_64 #1 SMP Tue Jan 29 11:47:41 EST 2013 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

This tells me that Linux is 64 bit as it is x86_64.

For Solaris

Code:
bash$ uname -a
SunOS xxxx 5.10 Generic_142910-17 i86pc i386 i86pc

This is indicating that Solaris is 32 bit
But this command on solaris:-
Code:
bash$ isainfo
amd64 i386

is indicating that my OS is 64 bit.

Could you please help me in understanding this .
And how to check whether processor is 32 bit ?

Thanks
