Usage and interface (atom2term)

Documentation on exports (atom2term)

PREDICATE: atom2term/2:

Usage: atom2term(+Atom, -Term)

• Description: Convert an atom into a term. Atom is an atom, but must have term syntax. Term is a term resulting from parsing Atom char by char.

PREDICATE: string2term/2:

Usage: string2term(+String, -Term)

• Description: Same as atom2term/2 but first argument is a string (containing a term).

PREDICATE: parse_term/3:

Usage: parse_term(+String, -Term, ?Dummy)

• Description: String is parsed into Term upto Dummy (which is the non-parsed rest of the list).

Known bugs and planned improvements (atom2term)

• This is just a quick hack written mainly for parsing daVinci's messages. There should be a call to the standard reader to do this!
