Description

::

message_hook(Message, Kind, Component, Tokens)

User-defined hook method for intercepting printing of a message, declared in the :ref:`logtalk apis:logtalk/0` built-in object as a public, multifile, and dynamic predicate. This hook method is automatically called by the :ref:methods_print_message_3 method. When the call succeeds, the print_message/3 method assumes that the message have been successfully printed.

Modes and number of proofs

::

message_hook(@nonvar, @nonvar, @nonvar, @list(nonvar)) - zero_or_one

Errors

(none)

Examples

::

:- multifile(logtalk::message_hook/4). :- dynamic(logtalk::message_hook/4).

% print silent messages instead of discarding them as default logtalk::message_hook(_, silent, core, Tokens) :- logtalk::message_prefix_stream(silent, core, Prefix, Stream), logtalk::print_message_tokens(Stream, Prefix, Tokens).
