I was reading my Nezmar pal’s blog when I found a post in which he showed a funny trik to visualize the hardware architectures present in your current installation of Mac OS X.
This is obtainable by giving the following command or your terminal.app:
find / -perm -1 -type f -exec file \{\} \; | grep Mach-O | grep 'for architecture' | awk '{ print substr($0, match($0, "for architecture [^\\)]*"), RLENGTH)}' | cut -d' ' -f3 | sort | uniq -c
And this is what I get from it after some CPU clicles and hard drives read:
3234 i386
463 ppc
635 ppc64
2346 ppc7400
1 ppc750
1129 x86_64
where i386 means Intel specific code, ppc for the generic PowerPC family, ppc7400 for G4, ppc750 for G3, ppc970 for G5.
Enjoy !

Hi there!
I'm Nicola from Italy and my nickname has been kOoLiNuS since 1999 when I got a pc, connected it and subscribed ICQ.
I've started blogging in february 2003 and, on late 2005, I thought it could be fun to participate on to the "international" blogosphere opening a Blogger space. Being unhappy with it I moved over WordPress.com in january 2006 and still here we are ;-)

Nice command! Note the x86_64 also – this tells you that your intel processor is 64bit capable and that there are binaries on the system that run in 64 bit mode. Would be interesting to see what someone with an Intel processor still running 10.4 would have as far as 64bit executables.
