If you pass the -h option, you'll get a help menu which parses this - -a <arch> Architecture to mirror (defaults to 'x86', can be 'x86_64' too)."
Reading the script states this -
Quote:
# What architecture will we be mirroring? The default is 'x86' meaning 32bit.
# Alternatively you can specify 'x86_64' meaning 64bit. The value of SARCH
# determines the name of the slackware directories.
# This value can be overruled via the '-a' commandline parameter;
SARCH=${SARCH:-"x86"}
