|

\brief Returns the names of the system's secondary architectures.
|
|
|
|
These are the packaging architectures the system does provide additional
|
|
support for (i.e. not including the primary architecture). Only actually
|
|
installed support is considered. E.g. on a pure x86 gcc 2 system
|
|
(primary architecture "x86_gcc2") without any support installed for gcc 4
|
|
executables, the function will not return any secondary architectures, even
|
|
if it would be possible to install the support for gcc 4.
|
|
|
|
\param architectures A pre-allocated array of size \a count where the names
|
|
of the secondary architectures will be stored. Can be \c NULL, if
|
|
\a count is 0.
|
|
\param count The size of the \a architectures array.
|
|
|
|
\return The actual number of secondary architectures. May be greater than
|
|
\a count, but at most \a count names will be written to
|
|
\a architectures.

\brief Returns the name of the architecture associated with the given path.

If the given path refers to an executable, library, or add-on, the function
|
|
determines for which architecture it has been built and returns that.
|
|
Otherwise it analyzes the path itself, checking whether it points to/into a
|
|
directory where files for a secondary architectures reside. If that proved
|
|
inconclusive the name of the primary architecture is returned.
