Node:Nested, Next:Saving, Previous:Exiting, Up:Run Intro
The Prolog system provides a way to suspend the execution of your program
and to enter a new incarnation of the top-level where you can issue
queries to solve goals etc. This is achieved by issuing the query
(see Execution):
| ?- break.
This invokes a recursive top-level, indicated by the
message:
% Break level 1
You can now type queries just as if you were at top-level.
If another call of break/0 is encountered, it moves up to level 2,
and so on. To close the break and resume the execution which was
suspended, type ^D. The debugger state and current input and output
streams will be restored, and execution will be resumed at the predicate
call where it had been suspended after printing the message:
% End break
