This module implements the generic editor interface. It consists of two extensible parts with little in between. The first part deals with translating the input into source-location, and the second with starting an editor.

 edit(+Spec)

Edit indicated object.

 edit

Edit associated or script file. This is the Prolog file opened by double-clicking or the file loaded using

% swipl [-s] file.pl

 locate(+Spec, -FullSpec, -Location)[multifile]

 locate(+Spec, -Location)[multifile]

Locate object from the specified location.

 edit_command(+Editor, -Command)[multifile]

This predicate should specify the shell-command called to invoke the user's editor. The following substitutions will be made:

%e	Path name of the editor
%f	Path name of the file to be edited
%d	Line number of the target

 select_location(+Pairs, +UserSpec, -Location)[multifile]
