atom(+T) ISO
term T is an atom
atomic(+T) ISO
term T is an atom or a number
callable(+T)

compound(+T) ISO
T is a compound term
db_reference(+X)

ground(+T)
term T is a nonvar, and all substructures are nonvar
integer(+T) ISO
term T is an integer
mutable(+X)
X is currently instantiated to a mutable term
nonvar(+T) ISO

compare(-C,+X,+Y) meta-predicate
C is the result of comparing terms X and Y
+X == +Y ISO
terms X and Y are strictly identical
+X \== +Y ISO
terms X and Y are not strictly identical
+X @< +Y ISO
term X precedes term Y in standard order for terms
+X @>= +Y ISO
term X follows or is identical to term Y in standard order for terms
+X @> +Y ISO
term X follows term Y in standard order for terms
+X @=< +Y ISO
term X precedes or is identical to term Y in standard order for terms

?T =.. ?L ISO
the functor and arguments of term T comprise the list L
?X = ?Y ISO
terms X and Y are unified
+X \= +Y ISO
terms X and Y no not unify
?=(+X,+Y)
X and Y are either strictly identical or do not unify
arg(+N,+T,-A) ISO
the Nth argument of term T is A
atom_chars(?A,?L) ISO
A is the atom containing the character atoms in list L
atom_codes(?A,?L) ISO
A is the atom containing the characters in code-list L
atom_concat(?Atom1,?Atom2,?Atom12) ISO
Atom Atom1 concatenated with Atom2 gives Atom12.
atom_length(+Atom,-Length) ISO
Length is the number of characters of the atom Atom.
char_code(?Char,?Code) ISO
Code is the character code of the one-char atom Char.
copy_term(+T,-C) ISO
C is a copy of T in which all variables have been replaced by new variables
copy_term(+T,-C,-G)
C is a copy of T in which all variables have been replaced by new variables, and G is a goal for reinstating any attributes in C
create_mutable(+Datum,-Mutable)
Mutable is a new mutable term with current value Datum.
dif(+X,+Y)
X and Y are constrained to be different.
frozen(+Var,-Goal)
