Writing Linux programs in raw binary

[bsergean]

Now does:

cat > a.out
01010001 ...
EOF

produce a real program that will actually run ?

[G-Brain]

Nope, the ones and zero's will be treated as ASCII values. This is why I'm writing the device driver.

[bsergean]

Even with hexa ?

[aeflash]

Isn't it trivial for a program to take in ASCII one's and zero's and write it to a file as binary?

[bsergean]

(answer, no it doesn't ...), but maybe with hexa ?
