"Hackers inside", Unix 1. Something passed between routines or programs that enables the receiver to perform some operation; a capability ticket or opaque [identifier].

An in-band code for changing graphic rendition (e.g., inverse [video] or underlining) or performing other control functions (see also cookie).
