A directive
:- initialization :Goal. [ISO]
in a file includes Goal to the set of goals which shall be executed after that file has been loaded.
initialization/1
is actually callable at any point during loading of a
file. Initializations are saved by save_modules/2
and
save_program/[1,2]
, and so are executed after loading or
restoring such files too.
Goal is associated with the file loaded, and with a module, if applicable. When a file, or module, is going to be reloaded, all goals earlier installed by that file, or in that module, are removed first.
