@pred absolute_file_name(+File:atom, +Options:list, +Path:atom) is nondet
|
|
@pred absolute_file_name(-File:atom, +Path:atom, +Options:list) is nondet
|
|
|
|
_Options_ is a list of options to guide the conversion:
|
|
|
|
- extensions(+ _ListOfExtensions_)
|
|
|
|
List of file-name suffixes to add to try adding to the file. The
|
|
Default is the empty suffix, `''`. For each extension,
|
|
absolute_file_name/3 will first add the extension and then verify
|
|
the conditions imposed by the other options. If the condition
|
|
fails, the next extension of the list is tried. Extensions may
|
|
be specified both with dot, as `.ext`, or without, as plain
|
|
`ext`.
|
|
|
|
- relative_to(+ _FileOrDir_ )
|
|
|
|
Resolve the path relative to the given directory or directory the
|
|
holding the given file. Without this option, paths are resolved
|
|
relative to the working directory (see working_directory/2) or,
|
|
if _Spec_ is atomic and absolute_file_name/3 is executed
|
|
in a directive, it uses the current source-file as reference.
|
|
|
|
- access(+ _Mode_ )
|
|
|
|
Imposes the condition access_file( _File_ , _Mode_ ). _Mode_ is one of `read`, `write`, `append`, `exist` or
|
|
`none` (default).
|
|
|
|
See also access_file/2.
|
|
|
|
- file_type(+ _Type_ )
|
|
|
|
Defines suffixes matching one of several pre-specified type of files. Default mapping is as follows:
|
|
|
|
1. `txt` implies `[ '' ]`,
|
|
|
|
2. `prolog` implies `['.yap', '.pl', '.prolog', '']`,
|
|
|
|
3. `executable` implies `['.so', ',dylib', '.dll']` depending on the Operating system,
|
|
|
|
4. `qly` implies `['.qly', '']`,
|
|
|
|
5. `directory` implies `['']`,
|
|
|
|
6. The file-type `source` is an alias for `prolog` designed to support compatibility with SICStus Prolog. See also prolog_file_type/2.
|
|
|
|
Notice that this predicate only
|
|
returns non-directories, unless the option `file_type(directory)` is
|
|
specified, or unless `access(none)`.
|
|
|
|
- file_errors(`fail`/`error`)
|
|
|
|
If `error` (default), throw `existence_error` exception
|
|
if the file cannot be found. If `fail`, stay silent.
|
|
|
|
- solutions(`first`/`all`)
|
|
|
|
If `first` (default), commit to the first solution. Otherwise
|
|
absolute_file_name will enumerate all solutions via backtracking.
|
|
|
|
- expand(`true`/`false`)
|
|
|
|
If `true` (default is `false`) and _Spec_ is atomic, call
|
|
expand_file_name/2 followed by member/2 on _Spec_ before
|
|
proceeding. This is originally a SWI-Prolog extension, but
|
|
whereas SWI-Prolog implements its own conventions, YAP uses the
|
|
shell's `glob` primitive.
|
|
|
|
- glob(`Pattern`)
|
|
|
|
If _Pattern_ is atomic, add the pattern as a suffix to the current expansion, and call
|
|
expand_file_name/2 followed by member/2 on the result. This is originally a SICStus Prolog exception.
|
|
|
|
Both `glob` and `expand` rely on the same underlying
|
|
mechanism. YAP gives preference to `glob`.
|
|
|
|
- verbose_file_search(`true`/`false`)
|
|
|
|
If `true` (default is `false`) output messages during
|
|
search. This is often helpful when debugging. Corresponds to the
|
|
SWI-Prolog flag `verbose_file_search` (also available in YAP).
|
|
|
|
|
|
Compatibility considerations to common argument-order in ISO as well
|
|
as SICStus absolute_file_name/3 forced us to be flexible here.
|
|
If the last argument is a list and the second not, the arguments are
|
|
swapped, making the call
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~prolog
|
|
absolute_file_name(+ _Spec_ , - _Path_ ,+ _Options_ )
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
valid as well.

@pred user: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.
