Welcome to the Jargon File
This is the Jargon File, a comprehensive compendium of hacker slang
illuminating many aspects of hackish tradition, folklore, and humor. This
document (the Jargon File) is in the public domain, to be freely used,
shared, and modified. There are (by intention) no legal restraints on what
you can do with it, but there are traditions about its proper use to which
many hackers are quite strongly attached. Please extend the courtesy of
proper citation when you quote the File, ideally with a version number, as
it will change and grow over time. (Examples of appropriate citation form:
Jargon File 4.4.6 or The on-line hacker Jargon File, version 4.4.6, 4 Oct
2003. ) The Jargon File is a common heritage of the hacker culture. Over the
years a number of individuals have volunteered considerable time to
maintaining the File and been recognized by the net at large as editors of
it. Editorial responsibilities include: to collate contributions and
suggestions from others; to seek out corroborating information; to
cross-reference related entries; to keep the file in a consistent format;
and to announce and distribute updated versions periodically. Current
volunteer editors include: Eric Raymond esr@thyrsus.com Although there is no
requirement that you do so, it is considered good form to check with an
editor before quoting the File in a published work or commercial product. We
may have additional information that would be helpful to you and can assist
you in framing your quote to reflect not only the letter of the File but its
spirit as well. All contributions and suggestions about this file sent to a
volunteer editor are gratefully received and will be regarded, unless
otherwise labelled, as freely given donations for possible use as part of
this public-domain file. From time to time a snapshot of this file has been
polished, edited, and formatted for commercial publication with the
cooperation of the volunteer editors and the hacker community at large. If
you wish to have a bound paper copy of this file, you may find it convenient
to purchase one of these. They often contain additional material not found
in on-line versions. The three authorized editions so far are described in
the Revision History section; there may be more in the future. The Jargon
File's online rendition uses an unusually large number of special
characters. This test page lists them so you can check what your browser
does with each one. glyph description greek character lambda greek character
