This article will explain in detail what the bin file in linux refers to. The editor thinks it is very practical, so I share it with you for reference. I hope you can get something after reading this article.

The bin file in linux is a binary executable file, and the bin directory places a file based on value encoding. You can specify what a value means according to the specific application, such as cp, mv, mkdir, chmod, chown and so on.

The operating environment of this tutorial: linux7.3 system, Dell G3 computer.

The bin directory under the inux system is full of binary executables.

The / bin directory places the executable file of the most basic commands, such as cp, mv, mkdir, chmod, chown, and so on.

There is also a bin directory under / usr: / usr/bin, in which the file path is also an executable file for some commands.

If the software is installed by the user, the main program file of the software will be located in the / usr/local/bin directory (or the installation directory specified by the user, such as / usr/local/apache/bin). Such as / usr/local/apache/bin).

The Linux bin directory is full of binary executables, and the bin directory places executable files for some of the most basic commands, such as cp, mv, mkdir, chmod, chown, etc., and there is also a bin directory under / usr, and the files in it are also executable files for some commands.

To put it simply, text files are based on character encoding, and the common encodings are ASCII encoding, UNICODE encoding and so on. Binaries are files encoded based on values, and you can specify what a value means according to your application (a process that can be thought of as custom coding). From the above, we can see that the text file is basically a fixed-length encoding, based on characters, each character is fixed in the specific encoding, ASCII code is 8 bits of coding, UNICODE generally accounts for 16 bits. The binary file can be regarded as variable length coding, because it is a value code, and it is entirely up to you to decide how many bits represent a value.

This is the end of the article on "what does the bin file in linux mean?". I hope the above content can be of some help to you, so that you can learn more knowledge. if you think the article is good, please share it for more people to see.
