.SH NAME
yaplgt \- Logtalk integration script for YAP

.SH SYNOPSIS
.B yaplgt
[\fB-q\fR]
[\fB-g \fIgoal\fR]

.SH DESCRIPTION
\fByaplgt\fR is a Logtalk integration script for YAP. It automatically loads the YAP adapter file, the Logtalk compiler and runtime, the Logtalk default table of library names and paths, and any existing settings file found on the lookup directories. It uses the \fByap\fR executable \fB-l\fR option to load the Logtalk files. It passes any options to the \fByap\fR executable; see the YAP documentation for the available options.

.SH OPTIONS
The two most common options are:
.TP
.B \-q
Silence Logtalk default startup messages and compilation messages by setting the \fBreport\fR flag to \fBwarnings\fR.
.TP
.B \-g
.I goal
Initialization goal, written between double quotes, to be executed after Logtalk startup.

.SH REQUIREMENTS
YAP 6.3.4 or later is required. YAP can be compiled with either tabling or threads support, among other options. Check the YAP flag \fBsystem_options\fR before trying to run examples or applications that require YAP to be compiled with specific options. This integration script looks for a \fByap\fR executable in the system path.
