Dealing with binary files

[XingYeKM]

How to open a file in binary mode? Or how to save the file as binary? Just like the fopen function, which specifies the open mode as "b", I don't see any filex related functions or operations? Is this feature supported?

From what I know, in filex all files are treated like bin (which mean no modification done for special characters and such)
