--  Operating system interface facilities

--  This package contains types and procedures for interfacing to the
--  underlying OS. It is used by the GNAT compiler and by tools associated
--  with the GNAT compiler, and therefore works for the various operating
--  systems to which GNAT has been ported. This package will undoubtedly
--  grow as new services are needed by various tools.

--  This package tends to use fairly low-level Ada in order to not bring
--  in large portions of the RTL. For example, functions return access
--  to string as part of avoiding functions returning unconstrained types;
--  types related to dates are defined here instead of using the types
--  from Calendar, since use of Calendar forces linking in of tasking code.

--  Except where specifically noted, these routines are portable across
--  all GNAT implementations on all supported operating systems.

   -- Time/Date Stuff --
   ---------------------

   --  The OS's notion of time is represented by the private type OS_Time.
   --  This is the type returned by the File_Time_Stamp functions to obtain
   --  the time stamp of a specified file. Functions and a procedure (modeled
   --  after the similar subprograms in package Calendar) are provided for
   --  extracting information from a value of this type. Although these are
   --  called GM, the intention is not that they provide GMT times in all
   --  cases but rather the actual (time-zone independent) time stamp of the
   --  file (of course in Unix systems, this *is* in GMT form).

   -- File Stuff --
   ----------------

   --  These routines give access to the open/creat/close/read/write level
   --  of I/O routines in the typical C library (these functions are not
   --  part of the ANSI C standard, but are typically available in all
   --  systems). See also package Interfaces.C_Streams for access to the
   --  stream level routines.

   --  Note on file names. If a file name is passed as type String in any
   --  of the following specifications, then the name is a normal Ada string
   --  and need not be NUL-terminated. However, a trailing NUL character is
   --  permitted, and will be ignored (more accurately, the NUL and any
   --  characters that follow it will be ignored).

   type File_Descriptor is private;
   --  Corresponds to the int file handle values used in the C routines,

   Standin  : constant File_Descriptor;
   Standout : constant File_Descriptor;
   Standerr : constant File_Descriptor;
   --  File descriptors for standard input output files

   Invalid_FD : constant File_Descriptor;
   --  File descriptor returned when error in opening/creating file;

   type Mode is (Binary, Text);
   for Mode'Size use Integer'Size;
   for Mode use (Binary => 0, Text => 1);
   --  Used in all the Open and Create calls to specify if the file is to be
   --  opened in binary mode or text mode. In systems like Unix, this has no
   --  effect, but in systems capable of text mode translation, the use of
   --  Text as the mode parameter causes the system to do CR/LF translation
   --  and also to recognize the DOS end of file character on input. The use
   --  of Text where appropriate allows programs to take a portable Unix view
   --  of DOs-format files and process them appropriately.
