Availability:C-language interface function
int PL_strip_module(term_t +raw, module_t *m, term_t -plain)
Utility function. If raw is a term, possibly holding the module construct <module>:<rest>, this function will make plain a reference to <rest> and fill module * with <module>. For further nested module constructs the innermost module is returned via module *. If raw is not a module construct, raw will simply be put in plain. The value pointed to by m must be initialized before calling PL_strip_module(), either to the default module or to NULL. A NULL value is replaced by the current context module if raw carries no module. The following example shows how to obtain the plain term and module if the default module is the user module:
{ module m = PL_new_module(PL_new_atom("user"));
  term_t plain = PL_new_term_ref();

  PL_strip_module(term, &m, plain);
  ...
}
