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.
