RTFB

jargon (By analogy with RTFM) Read The Fucking

Binary.

Used when neither documentation nor source for the problem

at hand exists, and the only thing to do is use some

debugger or monitor and directly analyse the assembler

or even the machine code.

"RTFB" is the least pejorative of the RTF? forms, the anger is

directed at the absence of both source *and* adequate

documentation rather than at the person asking a question.
