What is SPIF stand for ?

I am currently going through the Allegro PCB Editor Training Manual. Lab 10-4 mention the SPIF interface. In the PCB Editor Help the SPIF command appears. Though I can clearly understand what the SPIF command does, nowhere on the WEB nor Help nor the Training manual is defined what SPIF stand for, at least, I couldn’t find it. Is it an acronym ? If so, what are the words ? Where does the name SPIF come from ?

I think SPIF stands for "SPecctra InterFace", which is the original name of the Cooper&Chan autorouter, which was aquired by Cadence and is now called the Allegro PCB Router
