There are several tools that let you examine the inside of a binary file in Linux. One of them is called "hexdump" (see "man hexdump"). Another is "od" (octal dump - though either of these can output the file in various formats). Also, you may want to try "strings" - this shows all the text strings in a file.
Modules are pieces of binary data that can be loaded into the Linux kernel at run time. These are typically drivers for devices or file systems.
The cp command does that.
These are different file types used under Linux 1. .tar and archieve files and need to be untared before use 2. .bin could be binary files in(elf format) 3. source file could be normal ASCII files.
$ cat filename | head
binary file
The first file system Linux supported was the MINIX file system.
There are several ways to read a text file. You can use one of several text editors, including vi, vim, emacs, joe, and nano. You can also parse it through the cat command like this: cat nameoffile.txt | less
The command is: diff file1.txt file2.txt
There is no set file manager in linux. Examples of Linux file managers include but: Nautilus (GNOME) Thunar (XFCE) Dolphin (KDE)
File permissions in Linux are not represented in binary format, but rather octal format. The first digit represents owner permissions, second digit is group permissions, and the final one is permissions for everyone. Read permissions are assigned a 4, write permissions are assigned a 2, and execute permissions are assigned a 1. A 6 permission allows read and write (4+2).
