Hi, This C program might help you. #include <stdio.h> #include <stdlib.h> #include <string.h> #include <errno.h> #include <sys/utsname.h> 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; } On Thu, Jan 27, 2011 at 4:45 PM, Henry Gebhardt <hsggebhardt@googlemail.com>wrote:

Any C programming technique apart from using this /proc/cpuinfo detail?
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.
