[det]linda(:Goal)

Starts a Linda-server in this process. The network address is written to current output stream as a TIPC port_id/2 reference (e.g. port_id('<1.1.1:3200515722>') ). This predicates looks to see if a server is already listening on the cluster. If so, it reports the address of the existing server. Otherwise, it registers a new server and reports its address.

?- linda.
   TIPC Linda server now listening at: port_id('<1.1.1:3200515722>')
   true.

?- linda.
   TIPC Linda server still listening at: port_id('<1.1.1:3200515722>')
   true.

The following will call my_init/0 in the current module after the server is successfully started or is found already listening. my_init/0 could start client-processes, initialize the tuple space, etc.

?- linda(my_init).
