5. The Jargon File (version 4.4.7, 29 Dec 2003) |
twiddle
n.
1. Tilde (ASCII 1111110, ~). Also called squiggle, sqiggle (sic ?
pronounced /skig'l/), and twaddle, but twiddle is the most common term.
2. A small and insignificant change to a program. Usually fixes one bug and
generates several new ones (see also shotgun debugging).
3. vt. To change something in a small way. Bits, for example, are often
twiddled. Twiddling a switch or knobs implies much less sense of purpose
than toggling or tweaking it; see frobnicate. To speak of twiddling a bit
connotes aimlessness, and at best doesn't specify what you're doing to the
bit; ?toggling a bit? has a more specific meaning (see bit twiddling,
toggle). 4. Uncommon name for the twirling baton prompt.
