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.
