In Chili, sauerkraut is part of the traditional "completo chileno". In France, it is a regional speciality from Alsace and in China, it is a specialty from the Heilongjiang province. In Italian Trentino-Alto-Adige region, it obtained the appellation « Produits agroalimentaires traditionnels » (PAT) in 1999, but this appellation is not acknowledged by the european community. Sauerkraut is made of finely cut cabbage that has been fermented by various lactic acid bacteria. Literally this word means « sour cabbage» and by extension it also designates the cooked sauerkraut served with a side dish. ||  || ||

It also allows for advanced scripting functions used in more evolved programming languages such as awk, sed, TCL and Perl. || || || 
    45 || leap || Referring to leap year || || || 
    46 || libIGCM || Shell script library used to run the IPSL models. || || || 
    47 || make || The purpose of the make utility is to determine automatically which parts of a large program need to be recompiled, and to issue the commands to recompile them. || || || 
    48 || makefile || File which includes the configuration for make. This file describes the dependencies between the different source files. With the makefile, make is able to determine the order in which it must compile the different components. || || ||

Together with the four species of echidna, it is one of the five extant species of monotremes, the only mammals that lay eggs instead of giving birth. It is the sole living representative of its family (Ornithorhynchidae) and genus (Ornithorhynchus), though a number of related species have been found in the fossil record. || || || 
    54 || pack || Step in the workflow during which it is possible to group in a single file different output time steps. In general, monthly output files are grouped by 1 to 10-yr packs. || || || 
    55 || rebuild || When using a parallel model for which parallel I/O are not activated, the outputs are divided into different output files (1 file by MPI process), each of the output files containing only a fraction of the computing domain. The rebuild phase is meant to reconstruct the complete output file covering the whole domain. || || ||

    57 || section || Sub section of the card files starting by the section's name in brackets. Example: [!UserChoices] || || || 
    58 || svn || Command to manage versions of the Subversion software. || || ||

    60 || tag || Notion #SVN. A tag is just a “snapshot” of a project in time. In Subversion, this idea already seems to be everywhere. Each repository revision is exactly that—a snapshot of the filesystem after each commit. However, people often want to give more human-friendly names to tags, like release-1.0. And they want to make snapshots of smaller subdirectories of the filesystem. After all, it's not so easy to remember that release-1.0 of a piece of software is a particular subdirectory of revision 4822. http://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.1/ch04s06.html || || || 
    61 || trunk || In #SVN, the main directory in which one works to make the project evolve. || || ||
