1. The Jargon File (version 4.4.7, 29 Dec 2003) |
magic cookie
n.
[Unix; common]
1. Something passed between routines or programs that enables the receiver
to perform some operation; a capability ticket or opaque identifier.
Especially used of small data objects that contain data encoded in a
strange or intrinsically machine-dependent way. E.g., on non-Unix OSes with
a non-byte-stream model of files, the result of ftell(3) may be a magic
cookie rather than a byte offset; it can be passed to fseek(3), but not
operated on in any meaningful way. The phrase it hands you a magic cookie
means it returns a result whose contents are not defined but which can be
passed back to the same or some other program later.
2. An in-band code for changing graphic rendition (e.g., inverse video or
underlining) or performing other control functions (see also cookie).
Some older terminals would leave a blank on the screen corresponding to
mode-change magic cookies; this was also called a glitch (or occasionally
a turd; compare mouse droppings). See also cookie.

that contain data encoded in a strange or intrinsically

passed to "fseek", but not operated on in any meaningful
way. The phrase "it hands you a magic cookie" means it
returns a result whose contents are not defined but which can
