À l'origine, une API - ou un jeu d'API - est une couche logicielle au travers de laquelle une application peut accéder de façon standardisée aux ressources d'un système, sans qu'elle en connaisse les détails internes. Elle est donc utilisée par les développeurs d'applications et implantée sous une forme concrète sous la forme d'appels système, de fonctions C ou, sous Windows, de DLL (dynamic link libraries). Mais aujourd'hui, le concept d'API s'est généralisé à tout type d'interface logicielle plus ou moins standard : API de système d'exploitation, API pour couches d'accès au réseau, API entre deux entités logicielles distantes, etc.  4, record 1, French, - interface%20de%20programmation%20d%27applications

The surface on which an avalanche slides.  5, record 2, English, - bed%20surface

Record number: 2, Textual support number: 1 CONT

Slab avalanches are most often the greatest threat to backcountry travelers. There are two main components in the snowpack that need to be present for these to occur: a cohesive slab layer and a sliding layer underneath the slab (called the bed surface) which is characterized by poor layer bonding and low shear strength ...  6, record 2, English, - bed%20surface

Record number: 2, Textual support number: 2 CONT

Slab avalanches fall when a well-defined snow later breaks free and slides away. The sliding surface is usually the interface between distinguishable layers of snow which has been formed by variations in weather or snow deposition. In some cases the sliding surface may be the ground(entire snow cover avalanches).  7, record 2, English, - bed%20surface

The bed surface can be the ground (or older snow).  8, record 2, English, - bed%20surface
