Yorick Language ReferenceOpening and Closing Binary Files
A binary file f has a Yorick data type which is distinct from a text file. The info and print functions describe f. The close function will be called implicitly when the last reference to a file disappears, e.g.- if f is redefined. The data in a binary file is organized into named variables, each of
which has a data type and dimensions. The . operator, which extracts
members from a structure instance, accepts binary files for its left operand.
Thus: The show command prints an alphabetical list of the variables contained in a file: show, f shows the variables in file f
