Description

This package lets you enumerate architectures that your kernel can run. The check is for the ability to run machine code and supporting appropriate syscall ABI -- you may need to install userland libraries in a chroot, container or via multiarch to actually execute non-static binaries of such architectures.

Also provided is "elf-arch", a tool to determine the architecture of an ELF binary (program or library).

Architectures detected by this version of arch-test are: * amd64, i386, x32 * mips, mipsel, mips64, mips64el * arm, armel, armhf, arm64, arm64ilp32 * powerpc, ppc64, ppc64el, powerpcspe * m68k * sh4 * s390x * sparc, sparc64 * illumos-amd64 * win32, win64 * kfreebsd-amd64, kfreebsd-i386 * alpha * hppa * riscv64, riscv32 * arc * loong64
