6.2.5 The Foreign Resource Linker

The foreign resource linker, splfr, is used for creating foreign resources (see Foreign Resources). splfr reads terms from a Prolog file, applying op declarations and extracting any foreign_resource/2 fact with first argument matching the resource name and all foreign/[2,3] facts. Based on this information, it generates the necessary glue code, and combines it with any additional C or object files provided by the user into a linked foreign resource. The output file name will be the resource name with a suitable extension.
