Is it possible to get information about any binary on OS X to determine if it’s a 32 bit or 64 bit binary?
I played with the ‘otool’ command but can’t find this kind of information.

Use the
filecommand instead ofotool. It will list all the architectures in the binary. On Intel Macs i386 is 32 bit and x86_64 is 64 bit.
