In Universe 11.2.3 can we tell if a file is 64bit

  • 1.  In Universe 11.2.3 can we tell if a file is 64bit

    Posted 08-09-2022 13:40
    How can we quickly see if a file (or list of files) are 64bit or 32bit

    I can see from analyze.file that a file is 64bit. but that was not picked up by the ACCOUNT.FILE.STATS in the STAT.FILE

    Is there an hidden key in FILEINFO() that will get that information

    Fields 31 and 32 of the dynamic array returned by the BASIC STATUS statement contain information on the style of the file. An example below using field 32.

    >COPYP BP FILETYPE (TSN

    FILETYPE
    OPEN "32BIT.FILE" TO F.FILE1 ELSE STOP 'CANNOT OPEN 32BIT.FILE'
    OPEN "64BIT.FILE" TO F.FILE2 ELSE STOP 'CANNOT OPEN 64BIT.FILE'
    STATUS FILE1 FROM F.FILE1 ELSE STOP
    STATUS FILE2 FROM F.FILE2 ELSE STOP
    CRT FILE1<32>
    CRT FILE2<32>
    END
    >RUN BP FILETYPE

    We wrote a program where we pass in the filename as an argument and use the STATUS command to extract information.  Here's a snippet of how to get the 64-bit info:
    STATUS MOD FROM NEW.FILE ELSE
    END
    IF MOD<31>[1,6] = 'ACEF02' AND MOD<32> = '5' THEN
       FLAG.64 = 'Y'
    END ELSE
       FLAG.64 = 'N'
    END

    I recommend creating a virtual dictionary item based upon the BASIC code as a model. That way you can LIST and SELECT based upon 32/64 bit files if needed.

    Note that with NLS, the substring operator [] will not match 'ACEF02'  to the first six CHARACTERS, NOT BYTES of the binary file header's magic number. Use BYTEVAL instead to examine a byte, such as the hex digit 0xAC or 0xEF, and even the 0x02. Byte order of the host system will also affect the sequence of the bytes.

    If you want something that works on any system, locating the positions of the 0xac and 0xef of the magic number will identify the byte order, and then you can find the 32/64 bit byte. Or you could locate the 0x01 or 0x02 in the "magic number" which can reside in only one of two of the first 4 bytes in current systems.

    This is the program from an old tech note is our knowledge base which determines the 32/64 Bit information you may find it useful

    *************************************************************************
    *
    *
    * Program to verify file bit setting 32/64 bit
    *
    * This program will allow you to verify the bit setting for a file ie 32bit or 64bit
    * it also returns other information such as the size in bytes, the type, the modulo
    * and separation. It could be modified to return any all information returned by
    * the STATUS statement used in basic.
    *
    * It also supports the use of a select list but will not handle a multi level you will
    * have to specify the individual part files in order to verify them.
    * In order to preserve the look and feel of UniVerse it prompts for file names
    * in the same fashion as the editor and uses the same form of error message
    * when a file is not in the VOC
    *
    * To use it just copy this source into a BP file and compile and catalog globally

    If you're using UNIX/Linux then you could configure the /etc/magic file (or rather take a copy of /etc/magic, modify and use the copy)

    file -m /etc/magic.uv *
    UV-FILE1: UV 32BIT Type:18 Mod:11 Sep:2
    UV-FILE2: UV 64BIT Type:18 Mod:13 Sep:2
    UV-FILE3: UV 32BIT Type:18 Mod:1823 Sep:1
    UV-FILE4: UV 32BIT Type:18 Mod:101 Sep:2
    UV-FILE5: UV 64BIT Type:18 Mod:11 Sep:1
    UV-FILE6: UV 32BIT Type:18 Mod:29 Sep:4
    VOC: UV 32BIT Type:18 Mod:1831 Sep:2
    VOCLIB: UV 32BIT Type:2 Mod:7 Sep:4
    UV-FILE7: UV 32BIT Type:18 Mod:1001 Sep:1
    UV-FILE8: UV 32BIT Type:18 Mod:1001 Sep:1
    UV-FILE9: UV 32BIT Type:18 Mod:101 Sep:1
    UV-FILE10: UV 64BIT Type:18 Mod:101 Sep:2
    UV-FILE11: UV 64BIT Type:18 Mod:101 Sep:2
    UV-FILE12: UV 32BIT  Type:18 Mod:223 Sep:1
    UV-FILE-TRIGGER: UV 32BIT Type:18 Mod:97 Sep:3 Trigger

    Note: this file has been generated to report specific UniVerse file types, you may be running on a different Endian or have other types not correctly identified but should be able to easily adapt.

    I really like this approach.
    The 2 challenges to implementing it are (1) getting access to the knowledge about the raw file offsets that contain the various settings that identify the full variations of UV file types; (2) understanding how to define the "magic" settings to leverage this info.
    It would be good if UV/UD came with this "out-of-the-box".

    Mark, are you able to share the uv file definitions for the magic.uv that you created?

    many thanks

    Hi Neil,

    This file is for HP-UX Itanium and will need modifying for Intel based platforms, the good news is we have today had approval to re-platform to RHEL so I will be converting at some time in the future in case you struggle doing it yourself.

    Let me know how you get on

    Kind regards
    Mark
