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.
