How to get kind of running process

[Gerriet M. Denkmann]

Given a normal app (NOT a kext) (which might run as root if necessary) and the pid of another process, how to I get the information Activity Monitor displays under "Kind", i.e. Intel, Intel 64, PowerPC etc. ?

I looked at sysctl ( CTL_KERN, KERN_PROC, KERN_PROC_PID, pid ) but did not see anything useful.

There is proc_is64bit(), but it seems this is not for normal apps.

What to use?

Kind regards,

Gerriet.
