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

```bash
npm install @stdlib/os-arch
```

Alternatively,

- To load the package in a website via a `script` tag without installation and bundlers, use the [ES Module][es-module] available on the [`esm`][esm-url] branch (see [README][esm-readme]).
- If you are using Deno, visit the [`deno`][deno-url] branch (see [README][deno-readme] for usage intructions).
- For use in Observable, or in browser/node environments, use the [Universal Module Definition (UMD)][umd] build available on the [`umd`][umd-url] branch (see [README][umd-readme]).
- To use as a general utility for the command line, install the corresponding [CLI package][cli-section] globally.

The [branches.md][branches-url] file summarizes the available branches and displays a diagram illustrating their relationships.

To view installation and usage instructions specific to each branch build, be sure to explicitly navigate to the respective README files on each branch, as linked to above.

## Usage

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

#### ARCH

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

```javascript
console.log( ARCH );
// =>
```

## 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

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

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

## CLI

## Installation

To use as a general utility, install the CLI package globally

```bash
npm install -g @stdlib/os-arch-cli
```

### Usage

```text
Usage: arch [options]

Options:

-h, --help Print this message.
-V, --version Print the package version.
```

### Examples

```bash
$ arch
```

## Notice

This package is part of [stdlib][stdlib], a standard library for JavaScript and Node.js, with an emphasis on numerical and scientific computing. The library provides a collection of robust, high performance libraries for mathematics, statistics, streams, utilities, and more.
