I don't understand the concept of "binfile". Why must I use
that ?

It's short for "binary file", which is what images are. "File" is for plain text files only. Other kinds of files are binaries.

One further distinction: reading a text file as "file" automatically converts line endings for the specific platform to returns, & writing to "file" converts returns to platform-specific line delimiters; whereas reading & writing "binfile" preserves the line endings in the text.

Who are a little wise, the best fooles bee."
