nuke
/n[y]ook/, vt.
[common]
1. To intentionally delete the entire contents of a given directory or
storage volume. ?On Unix, rm -r /usr will nuke everything in the usr
filesystem.? Never used for accidental deletion; contrast blow away.
2. Syn. for dike, applied to smaller things such as files, features, or
code sections. Often used to express a final verdict. ?What do you want me
to do with that 80-meg session file?? ?Nuke it.?
3. Used of processes as well as files; nuke is a frequent verbal alias for
kill -9 on Unix.
4. On IBM PCs, a bug that results in fandango on core can trash the
operating system, including the FAT (the in-core copy of the disk block
chaining information). This can utterly scramble attached disks, which are
then said to have been nuked. This term is also used of analogous lossages
on Macintoshes and other micros without memory protection.
