About Binary file
.bin is a filename extension for files containing any type of data in a binary format.
The BIN/CUE image file format consists of two files which contain binary data and metadata, respectively. The BIN file contains an exact copy of all data stored on an optical disk in raw, unprocessed form. For this reason, some programs use the .RAW suffix for these files. The file contains all data stored on the original disk - not only its files and folders, but also system-specific information such as boot loaders, volume attributes, error correction codes and other metadata on the disk itself. If a BIN file contains only textual data (without any formatting information) it is called a plain text file. Another example of binary files is compiled computer programs. Normally BIN can't be edited manually. |
