From Jargon File (4.2.0, 31 JAN 2000) [jargon]:
   out-of-band adj.   [from telecommunications and network theory]
   1. In software, describes values of a function which are not in its
   `natural' range of return values, but are rather signals that some
   kind of exception has occurred.   Many C functions, for example,
   return a nonnegative integral value, but indicate failure with an
   out-of-band return value of -1.   Compare {hidden flag}, {green
   bytes}, {fence}.   2. Also sometimes used to describe what
   communications people call `shift characters', such as the ESC that
   leads control sequences for many terminals, or the level shift
   indicators in the old 5-bit Baudot codes.   3. In personal
   communication, using methods other than email, such as telephones or
   {snail-mail}.
  
  

From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]:
   OODBMS
  
      {object-oriented database management system}
  
  

From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]:
   out-of-band
  
      1. The exchange of {call control} information
      on a dedicated channel, separate from that used by the
      telephone call or data transmission.
  
      2. Sometimes used to describe what communications people call
      "shift characters", such as the ESC that leads control
      sequences for many terminals, or the level shift indicators in
      the old 5-bit {Baudot} codes.
  
      3. In personal communication, using methods other than
      {electronic mail}, such as telephone or {snail-mail}.
  
      4. Values returned by a {function} that are not in
      its "natural" {range} of return values, but rather signal some
      kind of {exception}.   Many {C} functions that normally return
      a non-negative integer return -1 to indicate failure.
  
      This use confuses "out-of-band" with "out-of-range".   It is
      actually a clear example of {in-band} signalling since it uses
      the same "channel" for control and data.
  
      Compare {hidden flag}, {green bytes}, {fence}.
