whole turn or style of the body; esp., good appearance.

Cheated of feature by dissembling nature. --Shak.

3. The Jargon File (version 4.4.7, 29 Dec 2003) |
feature
n.
1. [common] A good property or behavior (as of a program). Whether it was
intended or not is immaterial.
2. [common] An intended property or behavior (as of a program). Whether it
is good or not is immaterial (but if bad, it is also a misfeature).
3. A surprising property or behavior; in particular, one that is purposely
inconsistent because it works better that way ? such an inconsistency is
therefore a feature and not a bug. This kind of feature is sometimes
called a miswart; see that entry for a classic example.
4. A property or behavior that is gratuitous or unnecessary, though perhaps
also impressive or cute. For example, one feature of Common LISP's format
function is the ability to print numbers in two different Roman-numeral
formats (see bells whistles and gongs).
5. A property or behavior that was put in to help someone else but that
happens to be in your way.
6. [common] A bug that has been documented. To call something a feature
sometimes means the author of the program did not consider the particular
case, and that the program responded in a way that was unexpected but not
strictly incorrect. A standard joke is that a bug can be turned into a
feature simply by documenting it (then theoretically no one can complain
about it because it's in the manual), or even by simply declaring it to be
good. ?That's not a bug, that's a feature!? is a common catchphrase. See
also feetch feetch, creeping featurism, wart, green lightning.
The relationship among bugs, features, misfeatures, warts, and miswarts
might be clarified by the following hypothetical exchange between two
hackers on an airliner:
A: ?This seat doesn't recline.?
B: ?That's not a bug, that's a feature. There is an emergency exit door
built around the window behind you, and the route has to be kept clear.?
A: ?Oh. Then it's a misfeature; they should have increased the spacing
between rows here.?
B: ?Yes. But if they'd increased spacing in only one section it would have
been a wart ? they would've had to make nonstandard-length ceiling panels
to fit over the displaced seats.?
A: ?A miswart, actually. If they increased spacing throughout they'd lose
several rows and a chunk out of the profit margin. So unequal spacing would
actually be the Right Thing.?
B: ?Indeed.?
Undocumented feature is a common, allegedly humorous euphemism for a bug.
There's a related joke that is sometimes referred to as the ?one-question
geek test?. You say to someone ?I saw a Volkswagen Beetle today with a
vanity license plate that read FEATURE?. If he/she laughs, he/she is a
geek.

feature
undocumented feature
1. A good property or behaviour (as of a program).
Whether it was intended or not is immaterial.
2. An intended property or behaviour (as of a program).
Whether it is good or not is immaterial (but if bad, it is
also a misfeature).
3. A surprising property or behaviour; in particular, one that
is purposely inconsistent because it works better that way -
such an inconsistency is therefore a feature and not a
bug. This kind of feature is sometimes called a miswart.
4. A property or behaviour that is gratuitous or unnecessary,
though perhaps also impressive or cute. For example, one
feature of Common LISP's "format" function is the ability to
print numbers in two different Roman-numeral formats (see
bells, whistles, and gongs).
5. A property or behaviour that was put in to help someone
else but that happens to be in your way.
6. A bug that has been documented. To call something a
feature sometimes means the author of the program did not
consider the particular case, and that the program responded
in a way that was unexpected but not strictly incorrect. A
standard joke is that a bug can be turned into a feature
simply by documenting it (then theoretically no one can
complain about it because it's in the manual), or even by
simply declaring it to be good. "That's not a bug, that's a
feature!" is a common catch-phrase. Apparently there is a
Volkswagen Beetle in San Francisco whose license plate reads
"FEATURE".
