The width of the kernel itself... 32 or 64 bit. But, remember this will
always return 32 on an AIX 4.3.3 kernel since it is a 32 bit kernel.
bootinfo -K does not tell you kernel width ( 64 bit environment is enabled
or not ). I use a program that I compiled from here or the comp.unix.aix
archives that will tell you hardware/kernel/kernel width.
Do a search for 64 bit in the archives. I will see if I can find it.
bootinfo -k will be a good command for AIX 5 which has both 32 bit and 64
bit kernels.
Thanks and hope this is as clear as mud...
Lamar

What do you mean by bitness?

You can use the undocumented "-K" flag to find out the "bit-ness" of the
kernel:
bootinfo -K
