IF01069Executable An executable or executable file, in computer science, is a file whose contents are meant to be interpreted as a program by a computer. Most often, it contains the binary representation of machine instructions of a specific processor (in which case the executable may also be referred to as a binary) Whether a file is an executable is mostly a matter of convention; some operating systems designate executable files by specific naming convention (such as the name ending in a filename extension ".bin" or ".exe") or noted alongside the file in its metadata (such as the "execute" permission bits under Unix-like operating systems).
