32or64?

[CA901585]

What command can I use to find out wether my system is 64-bit or 32-bit . Something like uname -a only that shows which it is 32or64?

For the moment, unless you're using something which is PARISC or IA64 (Itanium), it's 32 bit.

Hi,

If you are using unix, you can find out using following commands

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

# getconf KERNEL_BITS
64

Hope it helps,

Robert-Jan.

Hi,
In HP-ux there is simpler way through sam
Go to sam
then to performance monitor
then to system properties
go to operating systems
there you will find it in kernel width whether its 64 or 32
