Term output

Author(s): Adapted from shared code written by Richard A. O'Keefe. Changes by Mats Carlsson, Daniel Cabeza, Manuel Hermenegildo, and Manuel Carro..

Version: 1.10#7 (2006/4/26, 19:22:13 CEST)

Version of last change: 1.9#290 (2004/2/13, 20:20:3 CET)

This library provides different predicates for term output, additional to the kernel predicates display/1- display/2 and displayq/1-displayq/2. All the predicates defined in ISO-Prolog are included, plus other traditionally provided by Prolog Implementations. Output predicates are provided in two versions: one that uses the current output stream and other in which the stream is specified explicitly, as an additional first argument.
