While browsing through the Kernel Makefiles, I found these terms. So I would like to know what is the difference between vmlinux, vmlinuz, vmlinux.bin, zimage & bzimage?
I need to recognize type of data contained in random files. I am new to Linux.
Someone sent me a ZIP file containing files with Hebrew names (and created on Windows, not sure with which tool). I use LXDE on Debian Stretch. The Gnome archive manager manages to unzip the file, but the Hebrew characters are garbled. I think I’m getting UTF-8 octets extended into Unicode characters, e.g. I have a file whose name has four characters and a .doc suffic, and the characters are: 0x008E 0x0087 0x008E 0x0085 . Using the command-line unzip utility is even worse – it refuses to decompress altogether, complaining about an “Invalid or incomplete multibyte or wide character”.
