For example, on an AMD64 system, running *setarch i386* _program_ will cause _program_ to see i686 instead of _x86_64_ as the machine type. It can also be used to set various personality options. The default _program_ is */bin/sh*. + +Since version 2.33 the _arch_ command line argument is optional and *setarch* may be used to change personality flags (ADDR_LIMIT_*, SHORT_INODE, etc) without modification of the execution domain. + +== OPTIONS + +*--list*:: +List the architectures that *setarch* knows about. Whether *setarch* can actually set each of these architectures depends on the running kernel. + +*--uname-2.6*:: +Causes the _program_ to see a kernel version number beginning with 2.6. Turns on *UNAME26*. + +*-v*, *--verbose*:: +Be verbose. + +*-3*, *--3gb*:: +Specifies _program_ should use a maximum of 3GB of address space. Supported on x86. Turns on *ADDR_LIMIT_3GB*. + +*--4gb*:: +This option has no effect. It is retained for backward compatibility only, and may be removed in future releases. + +*-B*, *--32bit*:: +Limit the address space to 32 bits to emulate hardware. Supported on ARM and Alpha. Turns on *ADDR_LIMIT_32BIT*. + +*-F*, *--fdpic-funcptrs*:: +Treat user-space function pointers to signal handlers as pointers to address descriptors. This option has no effect on architectures that do not support *FDPIC* ELF binaries. In kernel v4.14 support is limited to ARM, Blackfin, Fujitsu FR-V, and SuperH CPU architectures. + +*-I*, *--short-inode*:: +Obsolete bug emulation flag. Turns on *SHORT_INODE*. + +*-L*, *--addr-compat-layout*:: +Provide legacy virtual address space layout. Use when the _program_ binary does not have *PT_GNU_STACK* ELF header. Turns on *ADDR_COMPAT_LAYOUT*. + +*-R*, *--addr-no-randomize*:: +Disables randomization of the virtual address space. Turns on *ADDR_NO_RANDOMIZE*. + +*-S*, *--whole-seconds*:: +Obsolete bug emulation flag. Turns on *WHOLE_SECONDS*. + +*-T*, *--sticky-timeouts*:: +This makes *select*(2), *pselect*(2), and *ppoll*(2) system calls preserve the timeout value instead of modifying it to reflect the amount of time not slept when interrupted by a signal handler. Use when _program_ depends on this behavior. For more details see the timeout description in *select*(2) manual page. Turns on *STICKY_TIMEOUTS*. + +*-X*, *--read-implies-exec*:: +If this is set then *mmap*(3p) *PROT_READ* will also add the *PROT_EXEC* bit - as expected by legacy x86 binaries. Notice that the ELF loader will automatically set this bit when it encounters a legacy binary. Turns on *READ_IMPLIES_EXEC*. + +*-Z*, *--mmap-page-zero*:: +SVr4 bug emulation that will set *mmap*(3p) page zero as read-only. Use when _program_ depends on this behavior, and the source code is not available to be fixed.
