=================================================================
Logtalk - Object oriented extension to Prolog
Release 2.18.0
Copyright (c) 1998-2004 Paulo Moura. All Rights Reserved.
=================================================================
This folder contains objects, categories, and protocols that implement
predicates for dealing with common Prolog types and structures.
To load a group of objects, protocols, and categories in this library
change your Prolog working directory to this folder and then compile
and load the corresponding loader utility file. 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.
To compile and load the loader files type you may use the Logtalk built-in
predicate logtalk_load/1. For example:
| ?- logtalk_load(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 print-ready format.
All source files are formatted using four-spaces tabs.
