+        x32 is a new processor-specific Application Binary Interface (psABI) for x86_64. 
+        An ABI defines the calling conventions between functions in a processing environment.  
+        The interface determines what registers are used and what the sizes are for various C data types.

+        Some processing environments prefer using 32-bit applications even when running 
+        on Intel 64-bit platforms. 
+        Consider the i386 psABI, which is a very old 32-bit ABI for Intel 64-bit platforms.
+        The i386 psABI does not provide efficient use and access of the Intel 64-bit processor resources,
+        leaving the system underutilized. 
+        Now consider the x86_64 psABI.
+        This ABI is newer and uses 64-bits for data sizes and program pointers.
+        The extra bits increase the footprint size of the programs, libraries, memory, and file system size 
+        requirements.
+        Executing under the x32 psABI enables user programs to utilize CPU and system resources 
+        more efficiently while keeping the memory footprint of the applications low.
+        Extra bits are used for registers but not for addressing mechanisms.
