# pvmgetarch(1)

print PVM architecture string

## NAME

pvmgetarch - print PVM architecture string

## SYNOPSIS

**pvmgetarch**

## DESCRIPTION

This manual page documents briefly the **pvmgetarch** command. This manual page was written for the Debian GNU/Linux distribution because the original program does not have a manual page.

**pvmgetarch** prints the architecture specific string used internally by PVM. This may be used to identify which subdirectory of ~/pvm3/bin to place architecture specific binaries in.  aimk also uses this string.
