In the context of free and open-source software, proprietary software only available as a binary executable is referred to as a blob or binary blob.The term usually refers to a device driver module loaded into the kernel of an open-source operating system, and is sometimes also applied to code running outside the kernel, such as system firmware images, microcode updates, or userland programs.
A fat binary (or multiarchitecture binary) is a computer executable program or library which has been expanded (or "fattened") with code native to multiple instruction sets which can consequently be run on multiple processor types. [1] This results in a file larger than a normal one-architecture binary file, thus the name.
