About arch

Display the architecture of the current host.

Syntax

arch [-k | archname ]

-k Display the kernel architecture, such as sun4m, sun4c, and so forth. This defines which specific SunOS kernel will run on the machine, and has implications only for programs that depend on the kernel explicitly (for example, ps).
archname Use archname to determine whether the application binaries for this application architecture can run on the current host system. The archname must be a valid application architecture, such as sun4, i86pc, and so forth.

Examples

arch - would display the architecture of the host currently connected to. In our example displays:

sun4
