SYNOPSIS

DESCRIPTION

       This manual page documents briefly the rewriter command.

       Rewrite  a stream of terms with a list of demodulators. The demodulators are used left-to-
       right as given, and they are not checked for termination.

SYNTAX

       The file of demodulators contains optional commands then  a  list  of  demodulators.   The
       commands can be used to declare infix operations and associativity/commutativity.  Example
       file of demodulators:

           op(400, infix, ^).
           op(400, infix, v).
           assoc_comm(^).
           assoc_comm(v).
           formulas(demodulators).
           x ^ x = x.
           x ^ (x v y) = x.
           x v x = x.
           x v (x ^ y) = x.
           end_of_list.
