@stdlib/os-arch

About stdlib...

We believe in a future in which the web is a preferred environment for numerical computation. To help realize this future, we've built stdlib. stdlib is a standard library, with an emphasis on numerical and scientific computation, written in JavaScript (and C) for execution in browsers and in Node.js.

The library is fully decomposable, being architected in such a way that you can swap out and mix and match APIs and functionality to cater to your exact preferences and use cases.

When you use stdlib, you can be absolutely certain that you are using the most thorough, rigorous, well-written, studied, documented, tested, measured, and high-quality code out there.

To join us in bringing numerical computing to the web, get started by checking us out on GitHub, and please consider financially supporting stdlib. We greatly appreciate your continued support!

Architecture

Operating system CPU architecture for which the JavaScript runtime binary was compiled.

Installation

npm install @stdlib/os-arch

Usage

var ARCH = require( '@stdlib/os-arch' );

ARCH

Operating system CPU architecture for which the JavaScript runtime binary was compiled.

console.log( ARCH );
// => <string>

Notes

• In general, the target build architecture of the JavaScript runtime binary should match the host architecture; however, this is not guaranteed to always be true (e.g., if attempting to run an x64 build of Node.js on an arm64 host machine).

Examples

var ARCH = require( '@stdlib/os-arch' );

if ( ARCH === 'arm' || ARCH === 'arm64' ) {
    console.log( 'Running on ARM...' );
} else {
    console.log( 'Running on something else...' );
}
