Hi all,

Can someone tell me what is the AIX command to check an
executable/object module is an 32-bit or 64-bit application.

Thanks,
Vance

man file

$ cc junk.c && file a.out
a.out: executable (RISC System/6000) or object module
$ cc -q64 junk.c && file ./a.out
a.out: 64-bit XCOFF executable or object module not stripped

Cheers,

Have you tried file(1)?

You can also do:

$ dump -X64 [ path to file ]

I think if dump prints an error message, the file's not 64-bit.

Thanks to Paul and Nicholas,

I did use file and dump commands, but I wasn't aware of these commands
can also check for 32/64 bit app.

Thanks again,
Vance
