Free/[]>>Lambda
. This is the same as applying
call/N on Lambda, except that only variables appearing in Free
are bound by the call. For example
p(1,a). p(2,b). ?- {X}/p(X,Y). X = 1; X = 2.
This can in particularly be combined with bagof/3 and setof/3 to select particular variables to be concerned rather than using existential quantification (^/2) to exclude variables. For example, the two calls below are equivalent.
setof(X, Y^p(X,Y), Xs) setof(X, {X}/p(X,_), Xs)
