Not to be confused with “pickle”, the Python object serialization format…



Where "format" is used in the lightest way possible. (NEVER try to unpickle anything that was not produced by pickle itself (preferably the exact same version))


Or GNU poke (https://www.gnu.org/software/poke/) source files which are called "pickles".


Or PECL (pronounced Pickle), the old PHP package manager superseded by Composer.


My first thought too :(
