wizard
n.
1. Transitively, a person who knows how a complex piece of software or
hardware works (that is, who groks it); esp. someone who can find and fix
bugs quickly in an emergency. Someone is a hacker if he or she has
general hacking ability, but is a wizard with respect to something only if
he or she has specific detailed knowledge of that thing. A good hacker
could become a wizard for something given the time to study it.
2. The term ?wizard? is also used intransitively of someone who has
extremely high-level hacking or problem-solving ability.
3. A person who is permitted to do things forbidden to ordinary people; one
who has wheel privileges on a system.
4. A Unix expert, esp. a Unix systems programmer. This usage is well enough
established that ?Unix Wizard? is a recognized job title at some
corporations and to most headhunters.
See guru, lord high fixer. See also deep magic, heavy wizardry,
incantation, magic, mutter, rain dance, voodoo programming, wave
a dead chicken.

4. An interactive help utility that guides the user through a
potentially complex task, such as configuring a PPP driver
to work with a new modem. Wizards are often implemented as
a sequence of dialog boxes which the user can move forward
and backward through, filling in the details required. The
implication is that the expertise of a human wizard in one of
the above senses is encapsulated in the software wizard,
allowing the average user to perform expertly.
