32/64 bits files.

[Damián Sarmiento]

Hi.

How can I know if my files are 32bits or 64 bits?

My OS is HP-UX 11.31.

Thanks in advance.

Regards.

Shalom,

You have a magic want at the file and recite an incantation.

There is no difference between a 32 bit file and a 64 bit file. There may be limits based on the OS of maximum file size, but 11.31 HP-UX is 64 bit only.

Is it possible your question is whether the application is 32 or 64 bit? Please clarify.

Hi:

# file

...will disclose it's bitness.

'ELF-64' or 'LP64' signify 64-bits.

For example:

# file a*.out
a32.out: PA-RISC2.0 shared executable dynamically linked -not stripped
a64.out: ELF-64 executable object file - PA-RISC 2.0 (LP64)
