Public predicates

name/1

Pack name.

Compilation flags:
static
Template:
name(Name)
Mode and number of proofs:
name(?atom) - zero_or_one

description/1

Pack one line description.

Compilation flags:
static
Template:
description(Description)
Mode and number of proofs:
description(?atom) - zero_or_one

license/1

Pack license. Specified using the identifier from the SPDX License List (https://spdx.org/licenses/) when possible.

Compilation flags:
static
Template:
license(License)
Mode and number of proofs:
license(?atom) - zero_or_one

home/1

Pack home HTTPS or file URL.

Compilation flags:
static
Template:
home(Home)
Mode and number of proofs:
home(?atom) - zero_or_one

version/6

Table of available versions.

Compilation flags:
static
Template:
version(Version,Status,URL,Checksum,Dependencies,Portability)
Mode and number of proofs:
version(?compound,?atom,-atom,-pair(atom,atom),-list(pair(atom,callable)),?atom) - zero_or_more
version(?compound,?atom,-atom,-pair(atom,atom),-list(pair(atom,callable)),-list(atom)) - zero_or_more
Remarks:

  • Version: This argument uses the same format as entity versions: Major:Minor:Patch. Semantic versioning should be used.

  • Status: Version development status. E.g stable, rc, beta, alpha, or deprecated.

  • URL: File URL for a local directory, file URL for a local archive, download HTTPS URL for the pack archive, or download git archive URL for the pack archive.

  • Checksum: A pair where the key is the hash algorithm and the value is the checksum. Currently, the hash algorithm must be sha256. For file:// URLs of local directories, use none instead of a pair.

  • Dependencies: Pack dependencies list. Each dependency is a Dependency Operator Version term. Operator is a term comparison operator. Valid Dependency values are Registry::Pack, os(Name,Machine), logtalk, and a backend identifier atom.

  • Portability: Either the atom all or a list of the supported backend Prolog compilers (using the identifier atoms used by the prolog_dialect flag).

  • Clause order: Versions must be listed ordered from newest to oldest.

note/3

Table of notes per action and version.

Compilation flags:
static
Template:
note(Action,Version,Note)
Mode and number of proofs:
note(?atom,?term,-atom) - zero_or_more
Remarks:

  • Action: Possible values are install, update, and uninstall. When unbound, the note apply to all actions.

  • Version: Version acted on (i.e. version being installed, updated to, or uninstalled). When unbound, the note apply to all versions.

  • Note: Note to print when performing an action on a pack version.
