Both formats, briefly
XBMIN
An XBM file is an image written as C source code: an array of bytes with the width and height defined above it. That was the point in the X Window System, where a cursor or icon could be compiled straight into a program. It is monochrome and uncompressed, so it only makes sense for small, simple graphics. You still find XBM in Unix desktop source trees and in embedded projects that need a bitmap baked into the binary.
ICOOUT
ICO is the Windows icon container, and it is still what browsers look for at favicon.ico. A single file holds the same artwork at several sizes, commonly 16, 32, 48 and 256 pixels, so the system picks the right one for a browser tab, a taskbar or a desktop shortcut instead of scaling something badly. Build one when you are adding a favicon to a site or an icon to a Windows application.
