/** <module> Provide entry point for scripts

This library is intended for supporting   PrologScript on Unix using the
=|#!|= magic sequence for scripts using   commandline options. The entry
point main/0 calls the user-supplied predicate  main/1 passing a list of
commandline options. Below is `echo' in Prolog (adjust /usr/bin/swipl to
where SWI-Prolog is installed)

==
#!/usr/bin/env swipl

:- initialization(main, main).

main(Argv) :-
        echo(Argv).

echo([]) :- nl.
echo([Last]) :- !,
        write(Last), nl.
echo([H|T]) :-
        write(H), write(' '),
        echo(T).

@see    XPCE users should have a look at library(pce_main), which
        starts the GUI and processes events until all windows have gone.

    main/0.

%!  main
%
%   Call main/1 using the passed  command-line arguments. Before calling
%   main/1  this  predicate  installs  a  signal  handler  for  =SIGINT=
%   (Control-C) that terminates the process with status 1.

main :-
    context_module(M),
    set_signals,
    current_prolog_flag(argv, Av),
    call(M:main, Av).

set_signals :-
    on_signal(int, _, interrupt).

%!  interrupt(+Signal)
%
%   We received an interrupt.  This handler is installed using
%   on_signal/3.

interrupt(_Sig) :-
    halt(1).

%!  argv_options(+Argv, -RestArgv, -Options) is det.
%
%   Generic transformation of long commandline arguments to options.
%   Each --Name=Value is mapped to Name(Value).   Each plain name is
%   mapped to Name(true), unless Name starts  with =|no-|=, in which
%   case the option is mapped to  Name(false). Numeric option values
%   are mapped to Prolog numbers.
%
%   @see library(optparse) provides a more involved option library,
%   providing both short and long options, help and error handling.
%   This predicate is more for quick-and-dirty scripts.
