12.3.2 The swipl-rc program

The utility program swipl-rc can be used to examine and manipulate the contents of a SWI-Prolog resource file. The options are inspired by the Unix ar program. The basic command is:

% swipl-rc option resource-file member ...

The options are described below.

l

List contents of the archive.

x

Extract named (or all) members of the archive into the current directory.

a

Add files to the archive. If the archive already contains a member with the same name, the contents are replaced. Anywhere in the sequence of members, the options --class=class and --encoding=encoding may appear. They affect the class and encoding of subsequent files. The initial class is data and encoding none.

d

Delete named members from the archive.

This command is also described in the pl(1) Unix manual page.
