.. _library_term_io:

term_io

This library implements predicates for reading/writing terms from/to atoms, chars (lists of characters), and codes (lists of character codes). These predicates are implemented using a single temporary file created when the library is loaded. This temporary file is unique per Logtalk process. The predicates can be safely used in multi-threaded applications.
