What is blow-by?

I have a general idea what it might be, but I'd like to know what it really is. Ok, today, after driving, I opened the oil cap while the engine was still hot. I saw light wisps of white smoke coming out of the oil hole. It wasn't a thick cloud, but the smoke was noticeable. Is this blow-by, and if so, is this normal? What causes it? Thanks.
