NAME

     archdetect — detect hardware architecture

SYNOPSIS

     archdetect [-g]

DESCRIPTION

     archdetect displays the current machine architecture and subarchitecture.  The architecture
     corresponds to that built into dpkg, and describes the CPU (and possibly kernel) types; the
     subarchitecture distinguishes machines with different boot arrangements that require special
     handling.

     The following option is available:

     -g    When bringing up new subarchitectures, archdetect may not yet have been taught about
           this specific machine.  This option asks that archdetect try to guess a generic
           subarchitecture that may be compatible with this machine.  This is only necessary on
           certain architectures, and simply has no effect elsewhere.

AUTHORS

     archdetect was written by the Debian Installer team.
