2017年5月8日 · If not, write out a 1 bit, then write out the 7z-compression of the file. This is extremely efficient for files of that particular structure. The point is: there is no free lunch in data compression. You might be able to build a compression algorithm that compresses one type of file well, at the cost of compressing others worse.

A binary file is a file that is simply not a text file. It means that a bin file has a specific format (mp3, exe, jpg...) and can not be interpreted only as a character sequence. There are many ways data can be formatted and read.

2020年3月18日 · If you want to explore the contents of a binary file, just use a hex editor. If you try to make your own hex viewer, you will learn a lot. If you actually want to understand the contents of a file, you will need to read documentation about it. The BMP file format is a good place to start, lots of places to read about it online.

2013年4月2日 · Files are always stored in the disk in binary format. Therefore if you know the binary version of the file, you simply know the file itself. A more interesting question is whether you can reconstruct the semantics of the file from its binary contents. Suppose you memorized the binary contents of a file, but forgot what type the file was.

2020年9月20日 · The most common type of file is a binary file, which is composed of: A stream of bytes, which can be completely arbitrary. Metadata: name, length, owners, permissions, relevant dates, and so on. This is the "view" of the file from the outside. From the inside, the file will also be associated with locations on disk.

2022年10月20日 · It looks to me more like a .csv file or a .txt file. Is it that i see it in this format because of the file viewers i use ( notepad/notepad++/excel). Based on the formatting seeing in the image, isn't this more appropriate to be called a .csv file? This is just to enhance my knowledge about the difference between a csv, txt and .asc file.

2016年3月21日 · The file starts with a "file-header" that contains the first and last timestamp that can be found in the file and the current amount of data points put in the file. Following that is a long list of equally sized "data-pointers" containing the timestamp and the offset in file.

2024年8月29日 · I got a bin file out of a video game. its of a video. But Id like to view this vide but its a .bin file ...

But what about binary trees. They are just not data, they have route node, child nodes. How are they actually represented on disk? I tried searching using this term "binary trees representation on disk". But I didn't find anything useful. Let me know if I am not clear . Update: I was looking for details on how actually they are stored on disk.

2022年10月12日 · But any file, may it be a text file, image, videos, executables, etc. are stored in binary. Now the interpretation of a file is dependent on the particular program that will read it. As for text editors, it will interpret the content based on a selected character enconding .
