The 5 file extension is associated with FreeBSD, a Unix-like operating system available for workstations, servers and other platforms.
5 files have been found in some FreeBSD and NetBSD installation packages.
A 5 file is normally handled by the FreeBSD or NetBSD package that installed it, rather than opened directly by a separate application. Identify the package that supplied the file before attempting to inspect it.
If the file is known to contain plain text, a text editor can display it, but changing package data may prevent the related software from working correctly.
There is no general-purpose conversion method for this type of 5 file. Its contents are intended for use by the associated FreeBSD or NetBSD package, so conversion is generally neither necessary nor supported.

The 5 file extension is associated with GNU Screen, a full-screen terminal multiplexer available for Unix and Linux-based operating systems.
The file stores a record of output from a Screen window. Screen normally names log files with the window number as a numeric suffix, so a 5 file can represent the log for window 5.
This is a plain-text log rather than a document with a complex internal format. It is still used when a user enables Screen's logging feature.
A 5 file can be opened as text with a text editor or viewed in a Unix or Linux terminal using a pager such as less. The log may contain terminal control sequences, so its display can differ between text editors and terminal viewers.
GNU Screen creates the file, but it is not required to open an existing log.
A 5 file is already a plain-text log and normally does not need conversion. Its contents can be copied or saved as a text file with a different name.
Text-processing tools can extract or reformat the logged output, but there is no standard conversion to perform on the Screen log format itself.
