With the compile directive multifile/1 it is possible to specify that clauses for each user-defined procedure indicated by the predicate indicator, list of predicate indicators or predicate indicator sequence, may have clauses in more than one Prolog text. More than one directive multifile/1 may specify a user-defined procedure to be multifile. In each Prolog text that contains the clauses of the multifile user-defined procedure the clauses must be have been specfied by using multifile/1.

| multifile( test / 0 ). | all predicates with the functor 'test' and no arguments are made multifile |
| multifile([legs / 2, insect / 2, product / 1]). | the predicates legs/2, insect/2 and product/1 are made multifile |
