Public predicates
-----------------

.. index:: new/1
.. _streamvars/0::new/1:

``new/1``
^^^^^^^^^

Makes ``Variable`` a stream variable. Initial state will be empty.

| **Compilation flags:**
|    ``static``

| **Template:**
|    ``new(Variable)``
| **Mode and number of proofs:**
|    ``new(--streamvar)`` - ``one``

| **Exceptions:**
|    Variable is not a variable:
|        ``type_error(variable,Variable)``


------------

.. index:: new/2
.. _streamvars/0::new/2:

``new/2``
^^^^^^^^^

Makes ``Variable`` a stream variable and sets its initial state to ``Value``.

| **Compilation flags:**
|    ``static``

| **Template:**
|    ``new(Variable,Value)``
| **Mode and number of proofs:**
|    ``new(--streamvar,@nonvar)`` - ``one``

| **Exceptions:**
|    Variable is not a variable:
|        ``type_error(variable,Variable)``


------------

.. index:: (<=)/2
.. _streamvars/0::(<=)/2:

``(<=)/2``
^^^^^^^^^^

Sets the state of the stream variable ``Variable`` to ``Value`` (initializing the variable if needed).

| **Compilation flags:**
|    ``static``

| **Template:**
|    ``Variable<=Value``
| **Mode and number of proofs:**
|    ``(?streamvar)<=(@nonvar)`` - ``one``


------------

.. index:: (=>)/2
.. _streamvars/0::(=>)/2:

``(=>)/2``
^^^^^^^^^^

Unifies ``Value`` with the current state of the stream variable ``Variable``.

| **Compilation flags:**
|    ``static``

| **Template:**
|    ``Variable=>Value``
| **Mode and number of proofs:**
|    ``+streamvar=> ?nonvar`` - ``zero_or_one``
