## Public predicates

(no local declarations; see entity ancestors if any)

## Protected predicates

### `ancestor/4`

True if `Entity` descends from `Ancestor`, and `EntityKind` and `AncestorKind` unify with their respective entity types.

Compilation flags:
`static`
Template:
`ancestor(EntityKind,Entity,AncestorKind,Ancestor)`
Mode and number of proofs:
`ancestor(?entity,?entity_identifier,?entity,?entity_identifier)` - `zero_or_more`

### `current_entity/1`

True if `Entity` is a currently loaded entity.

Compilation flags:
`static`
Template:
`current_entity(Entity)`
Mode and number of proofs:
`current_entity(?entity_identifier)` - `zero_or_more`

### `declares_predicate/2`

True if `Entity` declares `Predicate` internally.

Compilation flags:
`static`
Template:
`declares_predicate(Entity,Predicate)`
Mode and number of proofs:
`declares_predicate(?entity_identifier,?predicate_indicator)` - `zero_or_more`

### `defines_predicate/2`

True if `Entity` defines an implementation of `Predicate` internally. Auxiliary predicates are excluded from results.

Compilation flags:
`static`
Template:
`defines_predicate(Entity,Predicate)`
Mode and number of proofs:
`defines_predicate(?entity_identifier,?predicate_indicator)` - `zero_or_more`

### `defines_predicate/3`

Same as `defines_predicate/2`, except `Property` is unified with a property of the predicate.

Compilation flags:
`static`
Template:
`defines_predicate(Entity,Predicate,Property)`
Mode and number of proofs:
`defines_predicate(?entity_identifier,?predicate_indicator,?term)` - `zero_or_more`

### `entity_calls/3`

True if a predicate `Caller` within `Entity` makes a `Call`.

Compilation flags:
`static`
Template:
`entity_calls(Entity,Caller,Call)`
Mode and number of proofs:
`entity_calls(?entity_identifier,?predicate_indicator,?predicate_indicator)` - `zero_or_one`

### `entity_kind/2`

True if `Kind` defines `Entity` and is one of category, protocol, or object.

Compilation flags:
`static`
Template:
`entity_kind(Entity,Kind)`
Mode and number of proofs:
`entity_kind(+entity_identifier,-entity)` - `zero_or_one`

### `entity_property/2`

True if `Property` is a valid property of `Entity`. Entity can be either a category, a protocol, or an object.

Compilation flags:
`static`
Template:
`entity_property(Entity,Property)`
Mode and number of proofs:
`entity_property(+entity_identifier,-term)` - `zero_or_more`

### `entity_updates/3`

True if a predicate `Updater` within `Entity` makes a dynamic update to `Updated` (by using e.g. the `asserta/1` or `retract/1` predicates).

Compilation flags:
`static`
Template:
`entity_updates(Entity,Updater,Updated)`
Mode and number of proofs:
`entity_updates(+entity_identifier,?predicate_indicator,?predicate_indicator)` - `zero_or_one`

### `not_excluded_file/3`

True if the file is not being excluded.

Compilation flags:
`static`
Template:
`not_excluded_file(ExcludedFiles,Path,Basename)`
Mode and number of proofs:
`not_excluded_file(+list(atom),+atom,+atom)` - `zero_or_one`

(no local declarations; see entity ancestors if any)
