Compiled executable

Jakes Louw — Tue, 21 Oct 2003 08:52:43 GMT

A question from a developer: is there a way to see if a compiled executable is 32-bit or 64-bit?

Hi,

Just do a file command on the executable,

# file name

Here is a good example,

db1:/usr/local/bin# file lsof
lsof: ELF-64 executable object file - PA-RISC 2.0 (LP64)
