qcompile(:File, +Options)

As qcompile/1, but processes additional options as defined by load_files/2. Options are passed to load_files/2. In addition the following options are processed:

include(+Include)

What to include into the QLF file. Currently accepts only a single value: the atom user. When specified, files loaded indirectly from File that to not come from the Prolog library are included into the .qlf file. This may be used to generate a single file from an application. The result is comparable to a save state (see qsave_program/2) with the folowing differences:

Only your application code is included. The Prolog libraries and boot files are not.
Only Prolog code is included, .qlf files cannot include arbitrary resources.
The file can be loaded into a running Prolog process, while a saved state can only be loaded into a virgin Prolog virtual machine.
