Built-ins to access functions and data from foreign languages

Predicates

call_c(+Function, ?Code)
Invoke the C function Function and unify its return code with Code.
external(+PredSpec)
Declares PredSpec to be a deterministic external predicate.
external(+PredSpec, +CName)
Defines PredSpec to be a deterministic external predicate linked to the C function whose system name is CName.
load(+File)
The object code or loadable library File is loaded into the running system.
peer(?Peer)
Checks or enumerates peer names
peer_deregister_multitask(++Peer)
Deregisters and removes the peer Peer from peer multitasking.
peer_do_multitask(+Type)
Perform a multitasking phase.
peer_get_property(++Peer, ?Property, ?Value)
Returns the properties of the peer Peer.
peer_multitask_confirm
Confirm a peer multitasking phase.
peer_multitask_terminate
Terminate a peer multitasking phase.
peer_queue_close(++Queue)
Closes the peer queue Queue from ECLiPSe side.
peer_queue_create(++Queue, ++Peer, ++QueueType, ?Direction, ++Event)
Create a new peer queue Queue for Peer from ECLiPSe side.
peer_queue_get_property(++Queue, ?Property, ?Value)
Get or enumerate properties of a peer queue Queue.
peer_register_multitask(++Peer, -MsgQ)
Registers the peer Peer for peer multitasking.
remote_connect(?Address, ?Peer, ?InitGoal)
Initiate a remote interface connection
remote_connect_accept(++Peer, ++Socket, ++TimeOut, ?InitGoal, +PassTerm, -InitRes)
Second half of initiating a remote interface connection.
remote_connect_setup(?Address, ?Peer, -Socket)
First half of initiating a remote interface connection.
remote_disconnect(++Peer)
Disconnect the remote peer Peer
remote_yield(++Peer)
Explicitly yield to the remote peer Peer
xget(+Handle, +Index, -Value)
Get the Index-th field of an external data structure (referenced by Handle).
xset(+Handle, +Index, +Value)
Set the Index-th field of an external data structure (referenced by Handle) to Value.
yield(+ToC, -FromC)
Yield control to the C/C++ main program that has invoked ECLiPSe. The arguments are used for passing data in and out.
