# Binary.Binary(3kaya)

Block of binary data.

## NAME

Binary::Binary - Block of binary data.

## SYNOPSIS

**Binary::Binary\<** **\>**

  \=  **Bin(****)**

This is a block of raw data. When storing or retrieving bytes, they are treated in Kaya as **Int**  s, but really they are 8 bit values. If you try to store an Int greater than 256, only the low 8 bits will be used.
