[HPADM] Summary: 64 or 32-bit app?>

The solution is to know how to read the output of the "file" command. :)
 
If it says PA-RISC 1.1 it is 32-bit. If it says PA-RISC 2.0 or ELF-64 then
it is 64-bit.
 
Samba (at least the version I have running) is 32-bit. Thanks to everyone
who replied!

Use the file command:

            file <binary>

 

Anything that is below PA-RISC 2.0 is 32 bit. PA-RISC 2 would be 64 bit and
may say "ELF-64 executable" also.

 

Example:

file /bin/ksh

/bin/ksh: PA-RISC1.1 shared executable dynamically linked

The PA-RISC1.1 tells you it is 32 bit.

 

file /oracle/prod/prodora/9.2.0/bin/oracle

/oracle/prod/prodora/9.2.0/bin/oracle: ELF-64 executable object file -
PA-RISC 2.0 (LP64)

The PA-RISC 2.0 and the ELF-64 both tell you it is 64 bit.

 

The PA-RISC is of course HP's Precision Architecture Reduced Instruction Set
chips and the numbers are the versions. 2.0 was the first 64 bit version.

How do I tell if an application is 32 or 64 bit? I know how to tell if
HP-UX is 32 or 64, but what about, say, CIFS/Samba? Thanks!
