incantation
From S23Wiki
 | This is the JargonFile (V4.00) entry for incantation - Next: include, Prev: inc |
| :incantation: /n./ Any particularly arbitrary or obscure command that one must mutter at a system to attain a desired result. Not used of passwords or other explicit security features. Especially used of tricks that are so poorly documented that they must be learned from a wizard. "This compiler normally locates initialized data in the data segment, but if you mutter the right incantation they will be forced into text space." | |
