@pred library_directory(?Directory:atom) is nondet, dynamic

Dynamic, multi-file predicate that succeeds when _Directory_ is a
current library directory name. Asserted in the user module.

Library directories are the places where files specified in the form
`library( _File_ )` are searched by the predicates consult/1,
reconsult/1, use_module/1, ensure_loaded/1, and load_files/2.

This directory is initialized by a rule that calls  the system predicate
system_library/1.

/**
  @pred prolog_file_type(?Suffix:atom, ?Handler:atom) is nondet, dynamic

  This multifile/dynamic predicate relates a file extension _Suffix_
  to a language or file type _Handler_. By
  default, it supports the extensions yap, pl, and prolog for prolog files and
  uses one of dll, so, or dylib for shared objects. Initial definition is:

/**
  @pred file_search_path(+Name:atom, -Directory:atom) is nondet

  Allows writing file names as compound terms. The  _Name_ and
  _DIRECTORY_ must be atoms. The predicate may generate multiple
  solutions. The predicate is originally defined as follows:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~prolog
file_search_path(library, Dir) :-
  library_directory(Dir).
file_search_path(commons, Dir) :-
  commons_directory(Dir).
file_search_path(swi, Home) :-
  current_prolog_flag(home, Home).
file_search_path(yap, Home) :-
        current_prolog_flag(home, Home).
file_search_path(system, Dir) :-
  prolog_flag(host_type, Dir).
file_search_path(foreign, Dir) :-
  foreign_directory(Dir).
file_search_path(path, C) :-
    (   getenv('PATH', A),
        (   current_prolog_flag(windows, true)
          ->  atomic_list_concat(B, ;, A)
        ;   atomic_list_concat(B, :, A)
        ),
        lists:member(C, B)
    ).

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  Thus, `compile(library(A))` will search for a file using
  library_directory/1 to obtain the prefix,
  whereas 'compile(system(A))` would look at the `host_type` flag.
