A pure binary is a file that only contains code. For example a .exe File contains a header at the begin. In this header is written where the execution should start and some other informations. A pure binary has no header. The execution starts at the begin. This is useful for kernels. just load the kernel somewhere in memory and jump to the begin of the kernel. You needn't take care of the header.
