+"""
+Architecture-aware utilities and global architecture config
+
+It is common within sploit and for users of sploit to need different behavior
+depending on the architecture of the target.  This module encapsulates those
+behaviors and bases them on a global architecture that is also configured here.
+
+Users can set the global arch with arch.set() and all of the methods in this
+module will honor it.  An architecture can be defined through the Arch dataclass
+and there are also several predefined architecture constants that can be used.
+
+arch (Arch): the architecture config that sploit will use whenever it needs to
+know the architecture of the target
+
+predefined architectures:
+    x86
+    x86_64
+    ARM
+    THUMB
