Interactive thread utilities

This library provides utilities that are primarily intended for interactive usage in a threaded Prolog environment. It allows for inspecting threads, manage I/O of background threads (depending on the environment) and manipulating the debug status of threads. */

 threads
List currently known threads with their status.
  103threads :-
  104    threads(Threads),
  105    print_message(information, threads(Threads)).
  106
  107threads(Threads) :-
  108    findall(Thread, thread_statistics(_,Thread), Threads).
 join_threads
Join all terminated threads.
  114join_threads :-
  115    findall(Ripped, rip_thread(Ripped), AllRipped),
  116    (   AllRipped == []
  117    ->  true
  118    ;   print_message(informational, joined_threads(AllRipped))
  119    ).
  120
  121rip_thread(thread{id:id, status:Status}) :-
  122    thread_property(Id, status(Status)),
  123    Status \== running,
  124    \+ thread_self(Id),
  125    thread_join(Id, _).
 with_stopped_threads(:Goal, Options) is det
Stop all threads except the caller while running once(Goal). Note that this is in the thread user utilities as this is not something that should be used by normal applications. Notably, this may deadlock if the current thread requires input from some other thread to complete Goal or one of the stopped threads has a lock. Options:
stop_nodebug_threads(+Boolean)
If true (default false), also stop threads created with the debug(false) option.
except(+List)
Do not stop threads from this list.
bug
- Note that the threads are stopped when they process signals. As signal handling may be delayed, this implies they need not be stopped before Goal starts.

Open a new console window and unify In, Out and Err with the input, output and error streams for the new console. This predicate is only available if win_open_console/5 (Windows or Qt swipl-win) or '$open_xterm'/5 (POSIX systems with pseudo terminal support).

 xterm_args(-List) is nondet
Multifile and dynamic hook that provides (additional) arguments for the xterm(1) process opened for additional thread consoles. Each solution must bind List to a list of atomic values. All solutions are concatenated using append/2 to form the final argument list.

The defaults set the colors to black-on-light-yellow, enable a scrollbar, set the font using Xft font pattern and prepares the back-arrow key.
