Command line tool that checks if a Windows executable is a 32-bit or 64-bit executable.

Bintype

bintype is a newLISP script that determines if a Windows executable is a 32-bit or 64-bit executable. It simply uses the Win32 GetBinaryType function from the kernell32 Windows DLL.

For more information about GetBinaryType, consult the following Microsoft documentation: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/aa364819(v=vs.85).aspx.

Standalone executables of bintype are available in the releases area: https://github.com/andreburgaud/bintype/releases
