Dear all: Could someone tell me how to know the file is binary or ASCII? I know both of them are stream of bytes but interpreted by different ways. My questions are: 1. How can I know this without opening it? 2. how can I see all the information in a file, include all the control characters, like linein, print character and line feed, etc. 3. Is there any tool on Linux can open binary file? 4. Is there any tool on Linux can transfer ASCII to binary and binary to ASCII?
