## Public predicates

### `replace_sub_atom/4`

Replaces all occurrences of `Old` by `New` in `Input` returning `Output`. Returns `Input` if `Old` is the empty atom. Fails when `Output` does not unify with the resulting atom.

Compilation flags:
`static`
Template:
`replace_sub_atom(Old,New,Input,Output)`
Mode and number of proofs:
`replace_sub_atom(+atom,+atom,+atom,?atom)` - `zero_or_one`

### `split/3`

Splits an atom at a given delimiter into a list of sub-atoms.

Compilation flags:
`static`
Template:
`split(Atom,Delimiter,SubAtoms)`
Mode and number of proofs:
`split(+atom,+atom,-list(atom))` - `one`
