6.6 SICStus Streams

With the SICStus Prolog C interface, the user can define his/her own streams as well as from C read or write on the predefined streams. The stream interface provides:

• C functions to perform I/O on Prolog streams. This way you can use the same stream from Prolog and C code.
• User defined streams. You can define your own Prolog streams in C.
• Bidirectional streams. A SICStus stream supports reading or writing or both.
• Hookable standard input/output/error streams.
