Load and install a foreign library as load_foreign_library/1,2 and register the installation using initialization/2 with the option now. This is similar to using:
:- initialization(load_foreign_library(foreign(mylib))).

but using the initialization/1 wrapper causes the library to be loaded after loading of the file in which it appears is completed, while use_foreign_library/1 loads the library immediately. I.e. the difference is only relevant if the remainder of the file uses functionality of the C-library.

  652The predicate current_predicate/2 is   a  difficult subject since  the
  653introduction  of defaulting     modules   and   dynamic     libraries.
  654current_predicate/2 is normally  called with instantiated arguments to
  655verify some  predicate can   be called without trapping   an undefined
  656predicate.  In this case we must  perform the search algorithm used by
  657the prolog system itself.
  658
  659If the pattern is not fully specified, we only generate the predicates
  660actually available in this  module.   This seems the best for listing,
  661etc.
