Hi,
This C program might help you.

int main() { struct utsname *buf = NULL;
buf = malloc(sizeof(struct utsname)); if (buf == NULL) { fprintf(stderr,"Memory Allocation Error: %s \n", strerror(errno)); exit(-1); }
if (uname(buf) < 0) { fprintf(stderr,"UName Error: %s \n", strerror(errno)); exit(-1); }
printf ("Processor arch =:>) %s \n", buf->machine);
return 0; }

What about using the machine field of uname(2):
$ man 2 uname
Quoting from that man page:
[...] the operating system presumably knows its name, release and version. It also knows what hardware it runs on.
Perhaps a downside, it returns the machine type as a string. Does that do what you want?
I also find "man linux32" rather interesting:
setarch - change reported architecture in new program environment and set personality flags
Might be useful for testing.
Greetings, Henry
Both Ideas give the Kernel architecture not cpu architecture. You can get exact cpu architecture through lshw command. *-cpu product: Intel(R) Pentium(R) Dual CPU E2160 @ 1.80GHz vendor: Intel Corp. physical id: 1 bus info: cpu@0 version: 6.15.13 serial: 0000-06FD-0000-0000-0000-0000 size: 1200MHz capacity: 1200MHz width: 64 bits capabilities: fpu fpu_exception wp vme de pse tsc msr pae mce cx8 apic mtrr pge mca cmov pat pse36 clflush dts acpi mmx fxsr sse sse2 ss ht tm pbe nx x86-64 constant_tsc arch_perfmon pebs bts pni dtes64 monitor ds_cpl est tm2 ssse3 cx16 xtpr pdcm lahf_lm cpufreq configuration: id=1 *-logicalcpu:0 description: Logical CPU physical id: 1.1 width: 64 bits capabilities: logical *-logicalcpu:1 description: Logical CPU physical id: 1.2 width: 64 bits capabilities: logical
