Why not just open /proc/cpuinfo and parse the data there. Use "cat /proc/cpuinfo" to see whats there.
Yes of course, but this won't give a concise string a-la "x86-32bit-amd" or some such without lots of mungling of the content and inventing a "language" for the format. I was wondering whether something, hopefully resembling a standard, was already done about this.

Solaris needed that because Solaris' /proc/ file system contains mostly (all?) binary data.
Actually from looking at a Solaris 9 right now, /proc only lists processes and nothing else. And the commands I was refering to are: # isainfo sparcv9 sparc # isainfo -v 64-bit sparcv9 applications 32-bit sparc applications # isalist sparcv9+vis2 sparcv9+vis sparcv9 sparcv8plus+vis sparcv8plus sparcv8 sparcv8-fsmuld sparcv7 sparc Cheers, --P -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
