2.4 Command
line options

SWI-Prolog can be executed in one of the following modes:

swipl --help

swipl --version

swipl --arch

swipl --dump-runtime-variables

These options must appear as only option. They cause Prolog to print an
informational message and exit. See section
2.4.1.

swipl [<var>option</var> ...] <var>script-file</var>
[<var>arg</var> ...]

These arguments are passed on Unix systems if file that starts with #!/path/to/executable
[<var>option</var> ...] is executed. Arguments after the script file are
made available in the Prolog flag argv.

swipl [<var>option</var> ...] <var>prolog-file</var>
... [[--] <var>arg</var> ...]

This is the normal way to start Prolog. The options are described in
section 2.4.2, section
2.4.3 and section 2.4.4.
The Prolog flag argv
provides access to <var>arg</var> ... If the <var>options</var> are
followed by one or more Prolog file names (i.e., names with extension .pl, .prolog
or (on Windows) the user preferred extension registered during
installation), these files are loaded. The first file is registered in
the Prolog flag
associated_file.
In addition, pl-win[.exe] switches to the directory in which this
primary source file is located using working_directory/2.

swipl -o <var>output</var> -c <var>prolog-file</var>
...

The -c option is used to compile a set of Prolog files
into an executable. See section
2.4.5.

swipl -o <var>output</var> -b <var>bootfile</var> <var>prolog-file</var>
...

Bootstrap compilation. See section
2.4.6.

2.4.1 Informational
command line options

--arch <var></var>

When given as the only option, it prints the architecture identifier
(see Prolog flag arch)
and exits. See also
--dump-runtime-variables.

--dump-runtime-variables <var>[=format]</var>

When given as the only option, it prints a sequence of variable settings
that can be used in shell scripts to deal with Prolog parameters. This
feature is also used by swipl-ld (see section
12.5). Below is a typical example of using this feature.

eval `swipl --dump-runtime-variables`
cc -I$PLBASE/include -L$PLBASE/lib/$PLARCH ...

The option can be followed by =sh to dump in POSIX shell
format (default) or =cmd to dump in MS-Windows cmd.exe
compatible format.

--help <var></var>

When given as the only option, it summarises the most important options.

--version <var></var>

When given as the only option, it summarises the version and the
architecture identifier.

--abi-version <var></var>

Print a key (string) that represents the binary compatibility on a
number of aspects. See section
2.22.

2.4.2 Command
line options for running Prolog

Note that boolean options may be written as --name
(true), --noname or --no-name (false). They
are written as --no-name below as the default is‘true'.

--debug-on-interrupt <var></var>

Enable debugging on an interrupt signal (Control-C, SIGINT)
immediately. Normally debugging on interrupt is enabled when entering
the interactive toplevel. This flag can be used to start the debugger on
an interrupt while executing goals from -g or
initialization/[1,2].
See also the Prolog flag
debug_on_interrupt.

--home=DIR <var></var>

Use <var>DIR</var> as home directory. See section
12.6 for details.

--quiet <var></var>

Set the Prolog flag verbose
to silent, suppressing informational and banner messages.
Also available as -q.

--no-debug <var></var>

Disable debugging. See the current_prolog_flag/2
flag
generate_debug_info
for details.

--no-signals <var></var>

Inhibit any signal handling by Prolog, a property that is sometimes
desirable for embedded applications. This option sets the flag
signals to false.
See section
12.4.23.1 for details. Note that the handler to unblock system calls
is still installed. This can be prevented using --sigalert=0
additionally. See --sigalert.

--no-threads <var></var>

Disable threading for the multi-threaded version at runtime. See also
the flags threads and gc_thread.

--no-packs <var></var>

Do not attach extension packages (add-ons). See also
attach_packs/0
and the Prolog flag packs.

--no-pce <var></var>

Enable/disable the xpce GUI subsystem. The default is to make it
available as autoload component if it is installed and the system can
access the graphics. Using --pce load the xpce system in
user space and --no-pce makes it unavailable in the
session.

--on-error <var>=style</var>

How to handle on errors. See the Prolog flag on_error
for details.

--on-warning <var>=style</var>

How to handle on warnings. See the Prolog flag on_warning
for details.

--pldoc <var>[=port]</var>

Start the PlDoc documentation system on a free network port and launch
the user's browser on http://localhost:<var>port</var>. If
<var>port</var> is specified, the server is started at the given port
and the browser is not launched.

--sigalert=NUM <var></var>

Use signal <var>NUM</var> (1 ... 31) for alerting a thread. This is
needed to make thread_signal/2,
and derived Prolog signal handling act immediately when the target
thread is blocked on an interruptible system call (e.g., sleep/1,
read/write to most devices). The default is to use SIGUSR2.
If <var>NUM</var> is 0 (zero), this handler is not installed. See prolog_alert_signal/2
to query or modify this value at runtime.

--no-tty <var></var>

Unix only. Switches controlling the terminal for allowing
single-character commands to the tracer and get_single_char/1.
By default, manipulating the terminal is enabled unless the system
detects it is not connected to a terminal or it is running as a
GNU-Emacs inferior process. See also tty_control.

--win-app <var></var>

This option is available only in swipl-win.exe and is used for
the start-menu item. If causes plwin to start in the folder
...\My Documents\Prolog or local equivalent thereof (see
win_folder/2).
The Prolog subdirectory is created if it does not exist.

-O <var></var>

Optimised compilation. See current_prolog_flag/2
flag
optimise for
details.

-l <var>file</var>

Load <var>file</var>. This flag provides compatibility with some other
Prolog systems.10YAP, SICStus
It is used in SWI-Prolog to skip the program initialization specified
using initialization/2
directives. See also section
2.11.2.1, and initialize/0.

-s <var>file</var>

Use <var>file</var> as a script file. The script file is loaded after
the initialisation file specified with the -f <var>file</var>
option. Unlike -f <var>file</var>, using -s
does not stop Prolog from loading the personal initialisation file.

-f <var>file</var>

Use <var>file</var> as initialisation file instead of the default
init.pl.‘-f <var>none</var>’stops
SWI-Prolog from searching for a startup file. This option can be used as
an alternative to
-s <var>file</var> that stops Prolog from loading the
personal initialisation file. See also section
2.2.

-F <var>script</var>

Select a startup script from the SWI-Prolog home directory. The script
file is named <<var>script</var>>.rc. The default
<var>script</var> name is deduced from the executable, taking the
leading alphanumerical characters (letters, digits and underscore) from
the program name. -F <var>none</var> stops looking for
a script. Intended for simple management of slightly different versions.
One could, for example, write a script iso.rc and then
select ISO compatibility mode using pl -F iso or make a
link from iso-pl to
pl.

-x <var>bootfile</var>

Boot from <var>bootfile</var> instead of the system's default boot file.
A boot file is a file resulting from a Prolog compilation using the
-b or -c option or a program saved
using
qsave_program/[1,2].

-p <var>alias=path1[:path2 ... ]</var>

Define a path alias for file_search_path. <var>alias</var> is the name
of the alias, and arg path1 ... is a list of values for the alias. On
Windows the list separator is ;. On other
systems it is :. A value is either a term of
the form alias(value) or pathname. The computed aliases are added to file_search_path/2
using asserta/1,
so they precede predefined values for the alias. See file_search_path/2
for details on using this file location mechanism.

--traditional <var></var>

This flag disables the most important extensions of SWI-Prolog version 7
(see section 5) that
introduce incompatibilities with earlier versions. In particular, lists
are represented in the traditional way, double quoted text is
represented by a list of character codes and the functional notation on
dicts is not supported. Dicts as a syntactic entity, and the predicates
that act on them, are still supported if this flag is present.

-- <var></var>

Stops scanning for more
arguments, so you can pass arguments for your application after this
one. See current_prolog_flag/2
using the flag argv for
obtaining the command line arguments.

2.4.3 Controlling
the stack sizes

As of version 7.7.14 the stacks are no longer limited individually.
Instead, only the combined size is limited. Note that 32 bit
systems still pose a 128Mb limit. See section
2.20.1. The combined limit is by default 1Gb on 64 bit machines
and 512Mb on 32 bit machines.

For example, to limit the stacks to 32Gb use the command below. Note
that the stack limits apply per thread. Individual threads may
be controlled using the stack_limit(+Bytes) option of
thread_create. Any thread can call set_prolog_flag(stack_limit,
Limit) (see
stack_limit) to
adjust the stack limit. This limit is inherited by threads created from
this thread.

$ swipl --stack-limit=32g

--stack-limit<var>=size[bkmg]</var>

Limit the combined size of the Prolog stacks to the indicated <var>size</var>.
The suffix specifies the value as bytes, Kbytes,
Mbytes or Gbytes.

--table-space<var>=size[bkmg]</var>

Limit for the <var>table space</var>. This is where tries holding
memoized11The letter M is used
because the T was already in use. It is a memnonic for Memoizing.
answers for
tabling are stored. The default is 1Gb on 64 bit machines
and 512Mb on 32 bit machines. See the Prolog flag
table_space.

--shared-table-space<var>=size[bkmg]</var>

Limit for the table space for shared tables. See
section 7.9.

2.4.4 Running
goals from the command line

-g <var>goal</var>

<var>Goal</var> is executed just before entering the top level. This
option may appear multiple times. See section
2.3 for details. If no initialization goal is present the system
calls version/0
to print the welcome message. The welcome message can be suppressed with
--quiet, but also with -g <var>true</var>. <var>goal</var>
can be a complex term. In this case quotes are normally needed to
protect it from being expanded by the shell. A safe way to run a goal
non-interactively is below. If go/0 succeeds
-g <var>halt</var> causes the process to stop with exit
code 0. If it fails, the exit code is 1; and if it raises an exception,
the exit code is 2.

% swipl <options> -g go -g halt

-t <var>goal</var>

Use <var>goal</var> as interactive top level instead of the default goal
prolog/0.
The <var>goal</var> can be a complex term. If the top-level goal
succeeds SWI-Prolog exits with status 0. If it fails the exit status is
1. If the top level raises an exception, this is printed as an uncaught
error and the top level is restarted. This flag also determines
the goal started by break/0
and abort/0.
If you want to prevent the user from entering interactive mode, start
the application with‘-g <var>goal</var> -t <var>halt</var>’.

2.4.5 Compilation
options

-c <var>file ...</var>

Compile files into an‘intermediate code file'. See section
2.11.

-o <var>output</var>

Used in combination with -c or -b to
determine output file for compilation.

2.4.6 Maintenance
options

The following options are for system maintenance. They are given for
reference only.

-b <var>initfile ...-c file ...</var>

Boot compilation. <var>initfile ...</var> are compiled by the C-written
bootstrap compiler, <var>file ...</var> by the normal Prolog compiler.
System maintenance only.

-d <var>token1,token2,...</var>

Print debug messages for DEBUG statements tagged with one of the
indicated tokens. Only has effect if the system is compiled with the
-DO_DEBUG flag. System maintenance only.

It is now more important than ever to have a borderless North American distribution strategy. Geopolitical events such as the US-China trade war, USMCA implementation, and of course the pandemic have yielded unprecedented nearshoring of manufacturing and distribution operations in North America.
Cross border mergers and acquisitions, shifts in demand and sourcing partners, or distribution consolidation may justify repositioning distribution centers, repurposing manufacturing or packaging facilities for distribution, relocating product and safety stock, utilizing 3PLs, or leveraging pop-up warehouses. Fluctuations in your cross border distribution network will have a big impact on your service level, labor costs, tax incentives, transportation costs, and legal framework of your business. This requires organizations that participate in North American trade to have an agile cross border supply chain.

A temperature monitor is not overly complex, but it is one of the most important investments you can make toward the reliability and uptime of your telecom or IT system.
Unfortunately, a temperature monitor is not generally respected by the technicians responsible for keeping the network online. They are generally more interested in technical system alarms than this simple environmental monitoring device. Heat is obviously a problem whenever you're dealing with computer equipment, but the very low temperatures of harsh winters can also cause remote site equipment to fail.
In this diagram, an HVAC (air conditioning) failure occurred without knowledge of the network operators. No temperature monitor was in place to detect and report the high temperature, so equipment damage and data loss will result in expenses that could have purchased literally thousands of temperature monitoring devices.
Telecom hardware and devices, because they involve large amounts of electricity, create great quantities of thermal energy (heat). Therefore, high temperature represents a continuous threat that must be monitored with a temperature monitor device. Otherwise, a heat spike will stop your revenue-generating network in its tracks.
Don't forget, however, that cold temperatures can cause havoc in non-equatorial climates as well. Although computer equipment tends to appreciate a cool climate, 50 degrees below zero stops pretty much anything in its tracks.
If you can't protect your servers from high or low temperature, neither your boss nor your clients will be very happy about it. After all, why wouldn't you spend the relatively modest amount necessary to install a good temperature monitor within your server room, server closet, datacenter, or telecom site?
To properly monitor your site temperature, you need a temperature monitor that measures temperature within about a single degree against multiple threshold levels. At least two are necessary to detect the"too low" and "too high" levels, but additional thresholds can make it easier to understand what's really happening at your sites. For example, it can be useful to have a "yellow alert" level so that you know the temperature is starting to rise. It's even more important, however, to have a "red alert" level to tell you the temperature has reached an absolutely critical point that requires immediate intervention to prevent thermal shutdown and expensive equipment damage.
But knowing the interior temperature at your site doesn't tell you everything. From the heat of the summer to the chill of the winter, it's also an excellent idea to monitor the exterior temperature. This way, you're able to assess the true danger of an HVAC or heater failure. While any climate control fail is an urgent scenario, the difference between an air conditioner failure that occurs when the temperature outside is 50 degrees Fahrenheit and one that occurs in the temperature outside is 110 degrees Fahrenheit.
As simple as temperature monitor technology is, it's not as if there's only one kind of sensor. In fact, there are two major types of temperature sensors: analog and discrete. What's the difference? Imagine that you need to monitor the temperature in your home (and you're not physically there to feel the temperature). With a thermometer, you would know the exact temperature (within a degree or so, depending on the accuracy of the thermometer you choose).
Imagine now that you can only listen to whether or not your heater or air conditioning is running, and that you can tell the difference between the two devices. In this case, you would know that the temperature in your home fell into one of three ranges: absolute zero to the point where the thermostat turns your heater off, the temperature range you specified as ideal, and somewhere between your AC activation temperature and the surface of the sun. As you can see, a discrete temperature monitor gives you much less detail than an analog one does. Even so, discrete is far better than nothing and can be significantly cheaper than an analog temperature monitor.
Now, my little scenario in the last paragraph hinted at a potential advantage for a discrete sensor over an analog: your thermostat is programmed automatic reaction temperatures where the heating or cooling is activated. In telecom network or IT terms, this translates into an automatic alarm from your temperature monitor, perhaps coupled with an automatic response in climate control.
In truth, however, a good temperature monitoring device will be capable of setting "virtual threshold" for when your analog temperature reading crosses the levels you designate. For example, you might set levels that indicate when temperature is "way too low", "a bit too low", "a bit too high", or "way too high".
Analogs are also able to track and measure the change in temperature over time. This allows you to know that the temperature is "dropping slowly" versus "plummeting like a rock".
As you shop for a temperature monitor, keep in mind that you may want to monitor temperature in many locations throughout a site. This is especially true for larger sites, where many different pieces of equipment will create "thermal zones" that should be monitored independently by dedicated temperature monitors.
While your costs will increase somewhat as you deploy multiple temperature monitors at each site, this investment can pay off big time. Many companies have been known to lose collective millions of dollars in equipment because they failed to monitor temperature adequately. In this game of temperature monitoring, more intelligence yields better financial results.
Also keep in mind that intelligence alone can't protect your equipment. If you know everything but can do nothing, you are getting nowhere fast. Intelligence combined with the power to react is what yields success. As an example, imagine that your revenue-generating equipment has a backup power supply but your air conditioning does not. If the power fails, you'll be helpless to keep service online because, although your servers have electricity, they will quickly reach the point of thermal shutdown without proper air-conditioning. Although your temperature monitors will, in this case, faithfully report the rising temperature at your sides, you will be powerless to stop it without shutting down service.
DPS Telecom clients have frequently found that installing temperature monitors at remote sites is an effective way to protect the equipment there.
One key piece of equipment that benefits greatly from temperature monitoring is your site's backup batteries. Chemical-based batteries require an ideal temperature range to run best. Deviations from this ideal range can cause drastically reduced run-time and multiply the number of times you'll need to replace batteries completely.
"I need to know how to install a temperature monitor in my server closet. The AC has not been functioning properly in the last several months. I can't explain why it doesn't work, but we continue to have problems. I had another problem just three days ago. I need a temperature monitor that will send a message to my cell phone when the temperature rises too high."
DPS also has users in northern Canada that use NetGuardian remotes with built-in temperature monitors and external temperature monitor probes to make sure that the temperature at the site doesn't drop too low. As I described previously, the extreme cold of northern winters can cause big problems with equipment, just like heat can.
Temperature monitors have also been used by DPS clients to support environmental efforts. Turning off AC units when the site temperature is at the upper end of acceptable levels minimizes power consumption, but protecting the world environment and reducing energy costs for that client's company.
DPS has worked with a telco in Canada to send temperature alarm messages from remote sites via a T1. Each RTU uses only a single DS0, so a sizeable fleet of RTUs is able to report back to the central master using just that single T1.
In a much smaller application, another DPS client on the East Coast used a dial-out RTU as a stand-alone temperature monitoring tool to send alert messages to technician's cell phones. Originally, this client deployed a very small RTU supporting just two 2 numbers. Later, he upgraded to a medium-size RTU supporting up to 8 phone numbers.
DPS also has a railway client that uses RTUs as remote monitoring tools within their signaling division. While a normally built RTU was acceptable on the telco side of this company, a wide-temperature-range remote (built with higher-tolerance parts to sustain hotter and colder temperatures) was required to withstand the temperature swing in non-hardened signaling enclosures alongside railroad tracks. Whenever small remote cabinets and huts are used to contain telecom gear (including tools for remote monitoring), all of that gear must be able to handle the hottest heat and/or the coldest cold that the local climate generates throughout the year.
