-The returned value is intended to represent the actual architecture of the underlying operating system. It is a best effort to ignore the architecture emulation infrastructure that may be involved to run the process. The returned value takes into account emulation built into Windows and macOS operating systems. The returned value does not take into account emulation using QEMU that is typically used on Linux operating system.
