program files in freebsd
 
hello minds,
if we install any program in the system we found files for it with out extension
and if we modified the file we see many symbols and words that we cant understand
so how i can encode the file so that i can read what it contain ..
than you ...

Program files are binary machine code, they are supposed to be that way (by the way, this "extension-thing" is a Windows thing). If you want to "read" them you have to get the source code for that program.

If it is an ISO file you can just mount it and copy the packages you need.

the file that i want to modified is ELF file format

If you want to modify a program your best option is to get the source code, make your changes and compile it, not to extract the binary and modify that.

the problem is that its not free that program give you trial license and give you iso contain the system and packages and you install it
so what the solution for that
thank you :)

There is no solution. If it is not a free program and you only have a trial license you are not allowed to alter the program. If you want changes in the program contact the developers.
