Yes, it can get confusing: uname -s uname -m uname -p ---------------------------------------- Intel Q9400 (Core2 Quad): FreeBSD amd64 amd64 GNU/kFreeBSD x86_64 amd64 Linux x86_64 unknown 32bit os (same processor): FreeBSD ?

The official 64bit OS name is "amd64" for FreeBSD, GNU/kFreeBSD and Linux. However, uname -m gives differing results and depends on the version of the running OS, not the real underlying processor; A 64bit processor can run a 32bit OS.

So both (uname -m and uname -p) don't depend on the installed CPU just on the version of FreeBSD. Probably the implementation of uname(3) is different in FreeBSD libc und GNU libc. Unix is such a homogeneous environment, isn't it ;-) Kind regards, Michael Krauss ___________________________________________________________________________________ If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to the Wiki! maillist : ntg-context@ntg.nl / http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context webpage : http://www.pragma-ade.nl / http://tex.aanhet.net archive : http://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/contextrev/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___________________________________________________________________________________ ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 3+ messages in thread
