Loading database from string (C API)

Hi,

I am writing a VM which embeds SWI-prolog using the C interface (I am
actually calling the SWI C interface via Python-CFFI, but it is all the
same).

I need to be able to parse Prolog source code (in a C string) into the Prolog
database. Looking at the FFI documentation [1] I don't see an obvious way to do
this. I guess one way is to write the Prolog source code to a file and
construct a query to consult/1.

Maybe it is possible to write the code to a memory file and use load_file/2
to load from a stream, but that seems convoluted too.

Is there a better way?

Thanks

P.S. Typo in documentation:
"security riscs" -> "security risks"
