Determine Solaris System Bit Count

The isainfo utility is used to identify various attributes of the instruction set architectures supported on the currently running system. Among the questions it can answer are whether 64-bit applications are supported, or whether the running kernel uses 32-bit or 64-bit device drivers.

• Run isainfo command on a 32-bit x86 platform.

# isainfo -v
32-bit i386 applications
# isainfo -k
i386

• Run isainfo command on a 64-bit operating system on a 64-bit SPARC processor.

# isainfo
sparcv9 sparc
# isainfo -n
sparcv9
# isainfo -v
64-bit sparcv9 applications
32-bit sparc applications
# isainfo -vk
64-bit sparcv9 kernel modules
