.SH DESCRIPTION
.B setarch
currently only affects the output of \fBuname -m\fR.
-For example, on an AMD64 system, running 'setarch i386 program' will cause 'program' to see
-.IR i686
-instead of
-.IR x86_64
-as the machine type. It also allows to set various personality options.
-The default
-.B program
-is /bin/sh.
