Binary

From TheLinuxVault

Jump to: navigation, search

Binary is compiled source code meant to run on a specific system (or kernel). With the source code one may make a binary file (often referred to as "binaries") for a specific system. For example, an apple binary file or a pc binary file can be made from source code (files) to run on those systems. Thus, binaries are programs meant for specific systems and possibly specific operating systems.
