I had a static library file. How can I see whether it is compiled in i386 or in arm platform. Thanks.

In computer science, a static library or statically-linked library is a set of routines, external functions and variables which are resolved in a caller at compile-time and copied into a target application by a compiler, linker, or binder, producing an object file and a stand-alone executable.
A static library, e.g. libfoo. a is not an executable of any kind. It is simply an indexed archive in unix ar format of other files which happen to be ELF object files.
If we want to see the contents of our library, we can use the ar option -t . We can also see the symbols in our library, using the command nm , which lists each symbol's symbol value, symbol type, and symbol name from object files.
A static library is a programming concept in which shared libraries with special functionalities, classes or resources are linked to external applications or components, facilitating the creation of stand-alone and executable files.
