start_tty_vc(++VCName)

Start a TTY visualisation client.
VCName
An atom; the name of the TTY VC.

Description

This predicate starts a TTY visualisation client (VC). The change condition is constrained of suspend. The view granularity is fine. For more control over these options, use start_tty_vc/2 or start_tty_vc/3.

The TTY VC is a non-logical entity in the sense that backtracking over the start_tty_vc goal does not affect the existence of the TTY VC.

Fail Conditions

Fails when any other TTY VC exists. Only one TTY VC can exist at a time, although in general there can be multiple VCs.

Resatisfiable

no
