mod

	This is the JargonFile ^(V4.00) entry for mod - Next: mode, Prev: mockingbird
:mod: /vt.,n./ 1. Short for modify or modification. Very commonly used -- in fact the full terms are considered markers that one is being formal. The plural mods is used esp. with reference to bug fixes or minor design changes in hardware or software, most esp. with respect to patch sets or a diff. 2. Short for modulo but used only for its techspeak sense.
