| | Binary and text files - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Binary files are usually thought of as being a sequence of bytes, which means the binary digits (bits) are grouped in eights. | | | Text files are sometimes advantageous even for data storage because they avoid certain problems with binary files, such as endianness, padding bytes, or differences in the number of bytes in a machine word. | | | Or, rather, text files are a special case of binary files, since any file is fundamentally a sequence of bits, and many computer components (for example, all hard disk circuitry and most system software) make no distinction between file types. |

| | Binary File Descriptor - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | The Binary File Descriptor library, most commonly seen as just BFD, is the GNU project's main mechanism for the portable manipulation of object files in a variety of formats. | | | An object file has a "header" with descriptive info; a variable number of "sections" that each have a name, some attributes, and a block of data; a symbol table; relocation entries; and so forth. | | | This became the library name, and "Binary File Descriptor" was invented later as the meaning of the letters. |

| | C++ Binary File I/O |
| | For convenience, the "array" of bytes stored in a file is indexed from zero to len-1, where len is the total number of bytes in the entire file. | | | C++ file input and output are typically achieved by using an object of one of the following classes: | | | In C++, the file stream classes are designed with the idea that a file should simply be viewed as a stream or array of uninterpreted bytes. |

| | Ascii vs. Binary Files |
| | Thus, the ASCII file might contain 8 bytes (6 for the characters, 2 for the spaces), and the output binary file would contain 3 bytes, one byte per hex pair. | | | An ASCII file is a binary file that consists of ASCII characters. | | | They're binary files where each byte is written in ASCII code. |

| | Files: UWXAFS Binary Format Data Files |
| | The drawbacks to the UWXAFS binary files are that they cannot be transported between machines (unless both the architecture and operating system are the same) and that special routines must be used every time data is to be accessed. | | | Each file has a file type associated with it that determines the format of the data held in the file. | | | But the biggest advantage over ASCII data files is that more than one set of data can be held in a single data file, making organization of data easier for the UWXAFS binary files. |

| | File formats, compression, and archiving |
| | If the name of an IBM PC file has a.zip,.pit,.gif,.com, or.exe extension, or an extension that indicates that the file is a word processor document file or a data file from a spreadsheet, database, or graphics program, transfer the file as binary. | | | The FTP file transfer software requires you specify the format to your FTP client (the software running on your desktop computer or on the shared computer from which you are "reaching out" to send or receive files). | | | These are files (some may be ASCII text) that have been compressed or archived, and have become binary files as a result. |

| | LEARN THE NET: File Formats & Extensions |
| | All of the file formats found on the Internet can be broken into one of two types: ASCII format and binary format. | | | Occasionally you may encounter files with multiple extensions like.tar.gz, which usually means more than one type of software was used to compile and compress the file. | | | You need to identify the file type to know whether it will work on your computer, and whether you will need a particular type of software to decompress, play, or view it. |

| | binary file - a Whatis.com definition |
| | A binary file is a file whose content must be interpreted by a program or a hardware processor that understands in advance exactly how it is formatted. | | | Programmers often talk about an executable program as a "binary" and will ask another programmer to "send me the binaries." (A synonym for this usage is object code.) A binary file could also contain data ready to be used by a program. | | | In terms of transmitting files from one place to another, a file can be transmitted as a "binary," meaning that the programs handling it don't attempt to look within it or change it, but just pass it along as a "chunk of 0s and 1s," the meaning of which is unknown to any network device. |
