#  archinfo

Returns a list of running processes and the architecture they are running under.

Apple M1/Apple Silicon/arm64 macOS can run x86_64 programs via Rosetta and most M1 systems currently (~March 2021) very likely run a mix of x86_64 and arm64 processes.

Activity Monitor can show the architecture, but command line tools such as `ps` and `top` do not due to Apple hiding the details of the proper `sysctl()` incantations necessary to get this info.

Patrick Wardle reverse-engineered Activity Monitor —  — and I slapped that hack into a bare-bones command line utility `archinfo`.

It returns columnar output or JSON (via `--json`) — that will work nicely with `jq` — of running processes and their respective architectures.

## Installation

Build from source, grab from the releases, or use `homebrew`:

```bash

brew install hrbrmstr/tap/archinfo

```

## Usage

```bash

$ archinfo
