=================================================================
Logtalk - Object oriented extension to Prolog
Release 2.23.1
Copyright (c) 1998-2005 Paulo Moura. All Rights Reserved.
=================================================================
This folder contains some useful objects, categories, and protocols.
To load a group of objects, protocols, and categories in this library
either change your Prolog working directory to this folder and then
compile and load the corresponding loader utility file or simply use
the notation library(<loader file>) as argument for the compiling and
loading predicates. For example:
| ?- logtalk_load(library(random_loader)).
Currently, there are eight groups of entities defined, each one with
a loader and a notes file:
dates
dates_loader.lgt
dates.notes
debugging
debugging_loader.lgt
debugging.notes
dependents
dependents_loader.lgt
dependents.notes
events
events_loader.lgt
events.notes
hierarchies
hierarchies_loader.lgt
hierarchies.notes
metapredicates
metapredicates_loader.lgt
metapredicates.notes
random
random_loader.lgt
random.notes
types
types_loader.lgt
types.notes
There is also a file named all_loader.lgt that will load all entities in the
groups listed above. Simply type the goal:
| ?- logtalk_load(library(all_loader)).
Specific notes about each group of objects, categories, and protocols can be
found in the corresponding *.notes files.
Some of the files contained in this directory represent work in progress and
are not loaded by default by any loader utility file.
Some of the code in this library is based on public domain Prolog code, in
particular, code adopted from the Edinburgh Prolog library. The definition
of predicate reverse/2 in object list is from Richard O'Keefe and can be found
in its book "The Craft of Prolog".
By default, compiling any group of entities described above generates a .xml
documenting file for each compiled entity (object, category, or protocol).
See the xml sub-directory for instructions on how to browse the .xml files
for on-line reading or how to convert the files to a print-ready format such
as PDF.
All source files are formatted using four-spaces tabs.
