A BUF file is a buffer file used by various programs, such as SQL*Plus and GNU Emacs. It contains data for a short time and then is erased. BUF files are not meant to be opened.

If you do, do not try to open the file, it is only meant to be used to store data for its corresponding application for a short amount of time.
