SP_set_argv()
since release 4.0.3
#include <sicstus/sicstus.h> int SP_set_argv(int argc, char **argv, spio_t_bits options);
Initializes the argv
prolog flag.
The number of elements of the argv
vector.
A vector of strings that can be accessed by prolog_flag(argv,X)
.
This argument is copied by SP_set_argv()
so it can be discarded
by the caller. May be passed as NULL
if argc
is zero.
The encoding used when converting the entries to atoms is determined
by the options
argument.
If options
is zero then each entry in argv
is assumed to
be an encoded string, i.e. encoded using ‘UTF-8’. This is
the same as passing argc
and argv
to
SP_initialize()
except that SP_initialize()
will not
report failure even if the argv
entries are not suitable as
atom names. Note that UTF-8 may not be the encoding used by the
operating system when invoking main()
.
If options
is SP_SET_ARGV_OPTION_SYSTEM_ENCODING
then
each entry in argv
is assumed to be encoded using some system
encoding. This is only useful on Unix-like systems since it is
preferable, and trivial, to obtain and pass a UTF-8 argv
vector
on Windows.
The system encoding used by SP_set_argv()
will be the first
character encoding specified by the following environment variables:
SP_CTYPE
LC_ALL (only on Unix)
LC_CTYPE (only on Unix)
LANG (only on Unix)
if none of these are set then the operating system will be queried in some platform specific way.
Please note: For best results on Unix-like platforms you should use a locale based on UTF-8.
Zero if the argument entries cannot be converted to atoms, and a nonzero value otherwise.
Initializing the Prolog Engine.
