From ecf6e79362faad747f50405d7f36a5d5006c3e97 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Gibson Fahnestock Date: Thu, 28 Dec 2017 13:29:36 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] doc: remove x86 from os.arch() options It is not possible for `process.arch` (which comes from V8's `target_arch`) to be `x86`. Also updates `process.arch` to have the same information.
