Good morning @Nakul, You can use the
magic
table or the
signature
table to discern architecture, both of these operations are relatively expensive (signature being much worse) Example of magic:
Copy code
WITH 
-- retrieve paths of app binaries and get magic data
app_paths AS (
  SELECT 
    REGEX_SPLIT(path, '/Contents/', 0) AS path, 
    data AS arch 
  FROM magic AS m 
  WHERE m.path IN (
    SELECT file.path 
    FROM file JOIN apps 
    WHERE file.path LIKE apps.path || "/Contents/MacOS/%" 
    AND file.type = 'regular') 
-- omit files that are not binaries
    AND mime_encoding = 'binary' 
-- omit symlinks
  AND mime_type != 'inode/symlink'), 
-- condense down result set with group by
reduce_set AS (
  SELECT path, arch 
  FROM app_paths 
  GROUP BY path, arch) 
-- rejoin on apps
SELECT name, arch FROM apps a CROSS JOIN reduce_set rs on a.path = rs.path;

If someone was significantly motivated one path forward to improving the
apps
table would be relying on data from
lsregister
instead which contains an arch flag:

hello @fritz, thank you for your reply. Let me study the info you have given and get back. From an initial POV, magic table approach seems to be sufficient for me. But let me take a deeper look and get back. Thanks again for the information. Cheers
