Applications define settings in one or multiple files using the directive setting/4 as illustrated below: == :- use_module(library(settings)). :- setting(version, atom, '1.0', 'Current version'). :- setting(timeout, number, 20, 'Timeout in seconds'). == The directive is subject to term_expansion/2, which guarantees proper synchronisation of the database if source-files are reloaded. This implies it is *not* possible to call setting/4 as a predicate. Settings are local to a module. This implies they are defined in a two-level namespace. Managing settings per module greatly simplifies assembling large applications from multiple modules that configuration through settings. This settings management library ensures proper access, loading and saving of settings. @see library(config) distributed with XPCE provides an alternative aimed at graphical applications. @author Jan Wielemaker */ :- dynamic st_value/3, % Name, Module, Value st_default/3, % Name, Module, Value local_file/1. % Path :- multifile current_setting/6. % Name, Module, Type, Default, Comment, Source :- meta_predicate setting(:, +, +, +), setting(:, ?), set_setting(:, +), set_setting_default(:, +), current_setting(:), restore_setting(:). :- predicate_options(load_settings/2, 2, [undefined(oneof([load,error]))]). curr_setting(Name, Module, Type, Default, Comment, Src) :- current_setting(Name, Module, Type, Default0, Comment, Src), ( st_default(Name, Module, Default1) -> Default = Default1 ; Default = Default0 ). %% setting(:Name, +Type, +Default, +Comment) is det. % % Define a setting.
