UNIX for Advanced & Expert Users

It doesn't work that way.

When you compile a program, it doesn't just dump down everything you do in text in some raw, binary format. The compiler must actually translate, and makes many complicated decisions about which is the most optimal way to do something.

Slightly different systems, environments, compilers, compiler options, and source code can all cause the code generated to be radically different.

In short, the change from source code to binary program is rather irreversible. The code doesn't resemble the input anymore, there's not much meaningful left to compare.

can any one tell the difference bte binary file and normal file in unix

Please avoid hijacking 4-month-old threads.
The terms "basic file" does not appear in unix (or any other Operating System which I can think of). The usual distinction is "text file" compared with "binary file". There are many types of "binary file".
The very basic answer is to use the unix file command.
e.g.

Code:

file filename

Try it and see if it gives the result you require.

@nvramakrishna
Please open a new thread in the Homework Forum according to the Homework rules, and take some time to transcribe the questions accurately and to show your own effort.

e.g.
"trace root" should surely be "traceroute".
"ip config" should surely be "ipconfig".
