Usually, 'uname -m' will return the name of the architecture you are using. Depending on the distribution, however, it may print the highest ISA that your processor supports, not necessarily the one you actually have installed (ie. if you run the 32-bit version, like "i386", it will return "x86_64").

If the system is a 64-bit system, uname should return one of the following:

  • x86_64
  • ppc64
  • sparc64
  • ia64
  • alpha
  • parisc64

Other results are 32-bit.
