swipl: Execute a script.
$ swipl ${filename-pl}
try on your machine
This command swipl ${filename-pl}
is used to run a Prolog program with the SWI-Prolog interpreter.
Here's the breakdown of the command:
swipl
is the command to invoke the SWI-Prolog interpreter. It stands for "SWI-Prolog interpreter."${filename-pl}
is a placeholder for the actual filename of your Prolog program. The.${filename-pl}
syntax is commonly used to represent a variable or placeholder in command-line instructions. You need to replace${filename-pl}
with the actual name of your Prolog file, including the file extension.pl
.
For example, if your Prolog program is named "hello.pl," the command would be:
swipl hello.pl
This command will execute the Prolog program using the SWI-Prolog interpreter and print any output or errors generated by the program.
