40 -- unit is available without -gnat05. That seems reasonable, since you only
41 -- get it if you explicitly ask for it.
43 -- External files may be classified as directories, special files, or ordinary
44 -- files. A directory is an external file that is a container for files on
45 -- the target system. A special file is an external file that cannot be
46 -- created or read by a predefined Ada Input-Output package. External files
47 -- that are not special files or directories are called ordinary files.
49 -- A file name is a string identifying an external file. Similarly, a
50 -- directory name is a string identifying a directory. The interpretation of
51 -- file names and directory names is implementation-defined.
53 -- The full name of an external file is a full specification of the name of
54 -- the file. If the external environment allows alternative specifications of
55 -- the name (for example, abbreviations), the full name should not use such
56 -- alternatives. A full name typically will include the names of all of
57 -- directories that contain the item. The simple name of an external file is
58 -- the name of the item, not including any containing directory names. Unless
59 -- otherwise specified, a file name or directory name parameter to a
60 -- predefined Ada input-output subprogram can be a full name, a simple name,
61 -- or any other form of name supported by the implementation.
63 -- The default directory is the directory that is used if a directory or
64 -- file name is not a full name (that is, when the name does not fully
65 -- identify all of the containing directories).
67 -- A directory entry is a single item in a directory, identifying a single
68 -- external file (including directories and special files).
70 -- For each function that returns a string, the lower bound of the returned
71 -- value is 1.
