'''Binary II''' is a file format used for storage and transmission of Apple II files which encodes the file attributes (from any of the various Apple II or III filesystems, such as DOS 3.3 and ProDOS) in a header, allowing the file to be reconstituted at the other end of a transmission with all the directory information intact.
