n. [common] The act of telling someone everything one knows about a
|
|
|
|
particular topic or project. Typically used when someone is going to let a
|
|
|
|
new party maintain a piece of code. Conceptually analogous to an operating
|
|
|
|
system core dump in that it saves a lot of useful state before an exit.
