binary is 32-bit or 64-bit ?

Does anybody know of the unix command to determine whether a binary is 32-bit or 64-bit ?

Thanks

Amit

Hi

file

example

file /stand/vmunix

64-bit :

/stand/vmunix: ELF-64 executable object file - PA-RISC 2.0 (LP64)

32-bit:

/stand/vmunix: PA-RISC1.1 executable -not stripped

'file ' returns ELF-64 executable object file for a 64 bit binary, something like PA-RISC2.0 shared executable for 32bit.
