print_message/3

Description

print_message(Kind, Component, Term)

Built-in method for printing a message represented by a term, which is converted to the message text using the logtalk::message_tokens(Term, Component) hook non-terminal. This method is declared in the logtalk built-in object as a public predicate. The line prefix and the output stream used for each Kind-Component pair can be found using the logtalk::message_prefix_stream(Kind, Component, Prefix, Stream) hook predicate.

This predicate starts by converting the message term to a list of tokens and by calling the logtalk::message_hook(Message, Kind, Component, Tokens) hook predicate. If this predicate succeeds, the print_message/3 predicate assumes that the message have been successfully printed.
