   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

   headhunters. see guru, lord high fixer. see also deep magic,
   heavy wizardry, incantation, magic, mutter, rain dance,

        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.
