From Jargon File (4.2.0, 31 JAN 2000) [jargon]: | |
binary four n. [Usenet] The finger, in the sense of `digitus impudicus'. This comes from an analogy between binary and the hand, i.e. 1=00001=thumb, 2=00010=index finger, 3=00011=index and thumb, 4=00100. Considered silly. Prob. from humorous derivative of {finger}, sense 4. | |

binary file i.e. arbitrary bytes or words, as opposed to a {text file} containing only printable characters (e.g. {ASCII} characters with codes 10, 13, and 32-126). On modern {operating systems} a text file is simply a binary file that happens to contain only printable characters, but some older systems distinguish the two file types, requiring programs to handle them differently. A common class of binary files is programs in {machine language} ("{executable} files") ready to load into memory and execute. Binary files may also be used to store data output by a program, and intended to be read by that or another program but not by humans. Binary files are more efficient for this purpose because the data (e.g. numerical data) does not need to be converted between the binary form used by the {CPU} and a printable (ASCII) representation. The disadvantage is that it is usually necessary to write special purpose programs to manipulate such files since most general purpose utilities operate on text files. There is also a problem sharing binary numerical data between processors with different {endian}ness. Some communications {protocols} handle only text files, e.g. most {electronic mail} systems before {MIME} became widespread in about 1995. The {FTP} utility must be put into "binary" mode in order to copy a binary file since in its default "ascii" mode translates between the different text line terminator characters used on the sending and receiving computers. Confusingly, some files produced by {wordprocessors}, and {rich text} files, are actually binary files because they contain non-printable characters and require special programs to view, edit, and print them.

binary package directories that must be installed in order to make a working installation of the program(s) included in the package, and the {maintainer scripts} necessary for the installation. A binary package is usually specific to a certain {platform}, in contrast to a {source package}. (2001-01-27) | |
