What vim does it differently when -b is enabled?

Hi,

`man vim` says the following. But I am not sure what exact -b does.

-b Binary mode. A few options will be set that makes it
possible to edit a binary or executable file.


Could anybody help explain this and provide a minimal binary file that
shows the difference between with -b and without -b? Thanks.
