32- or 64-bit binary?
 
How does one check if a Linux binary is 32- or 64-bit? Thanks

Hi Geremia;
I assume you meab an installed binary, correct? The code below will show what kernel is being used.
Code:
uname -a

That doesn't help much. The running kernel does not necessarily correspond with the bitness of any binary on the system.
