[det]read_file_to_terms(+Spec, -Terms, +Options)

Read the file Spec into a list of terms. Options is split over absolute_file_name/3, open/4 and read_term/3. In addition, the following option is processed:

tail(?Tail): If present, Terms\Tail forms a difference list.

Note that the output options of read_term/3, such as variable_names or subterm_positions will cause read_file_to_terms/3 to fail if Spec contains multiple terms because the values for the different terms will not unify.
