3.25.16.6 set datafile binary

The binary command is used to set the defaults when reading binary data files. The syntax matches precisely that used for commands `plot` and `splot`. See matrix and general for details about the keywords that can be present in <binary list>.

Syntax:

           set datafile binary <binary list>
           show datafile binary
           show datafile
           unset datafile
     

Examples:

           set datafile binary filetype=auto
           set datafile binary array=(512,512) format="%uchar"
     
           show datafile binary   # list current settings
