Initially, a file's owner is identified by the user ID of the person who created the file. The owner of a file determines who may read, write (modify), or execute the file.
About the File's Owner One of the most important objects in a nib file is the File's Owner object. Unlike interface objects, the File's Owner object is a placeholder object that is not created when the nib file is loaded. Instead, you create this object in your code and pass it to the nib-loading code.
Application interface created with Interface Builder, a graphical editor for designing and testing user interfaces; saved in a text-based flat-file format, introduced in Interface Builder 3.0. NOTE: XIB files are also called "development-time format" files.
In fact, the acronym "NIB" comes from "NeXTSTEP Interface Builder", and "XIB" from "Xcode Interface Builder". NIBs and XIBs are effectively the same thing: XIBs are newer and are used while you're developing, whereas NIBs are what get produced when you create a build.
