64bits files

[Stéphane Gauthier]

Hello,

Does anyone know a command that would list all 64bits file under my Unix box (HP-UX). All new files are created 64 bits, but need to know wich one are 64bits or still 32bits.

Tkx!

The "file" command should tell you:

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

It does not list all 64bits files! Here is what I get :

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

You need to combine the find command with the file command. The idea is that we will look for all regular files with an execution bit set and then exclude those which are text (shell, perl, awk) and finally send those files which pass these filters through a last file command.

Start by cd'ing to the desired starting directory. It will descend from there.

#!/usr/bin/sh

find . -type f \( -perm -100 -o -perm -010 -o -perm 001 \) | while read X
do
file "${X}" | grep -q -i "text"
RSLT=${?}
if [[ ${RSLT} -ne 0 ]]
then
file "${X}" | grep -q -i "ELF-64"
RSLT=${?}
if [[ ${RSLT} -eq 0 ]]
then
echo "${X} is 64-bit"
else
echo "${X} is 32-bit"
fi
fi
done

Man find, file, grep for details.

Tks, it is exactlly what I needed.
