32 -- This package contains the declaration of the basic file control block
33 -- shared between Text_IO, Sequential_IO, Direct_IO and Streams.Stream_IO.
34 -- The actual control blocks are derived from this block by extension. The
35 -- control block is itself derived from Ada.Streams.Root_Stream_Type which
36 -- facilitates implementation of Stream_IO.Stream and Text_Streams.Stream.

45 -- Ada File Control Block --
46 ----------------------------
48 -- The Ada file control block is an abstract extension of the root
49 -- stream type. This allows a file to be treated directly as a stream
50 -- for the purposes of Stream_IO, or stream operations on a text file.
51 -- The individual I/O packages extend this type with package specific
52 -- fields to create the concrete types to which the routines in this
53 -- package can be applied.
55 -- The type File_Type in the individual packages is an access to the
56 -- extended file control block. The value is null if the file is not
57 -- open, and a pointer to the control block if the file is open.
59 type Pstring
is access all String;
60 -- Used to hold name and form strings
62 type File_Mode
is (In_File
, Inout_File
, Out_File
, Append_File
);

range In_File
.. Inout_File
;
64 -- File mode (union of file modes permitted by individual packages,
65 -- the types File_Mode in the individual packages are declared to
66 -- allow easy conversion to and from this general type.
68 type Shared_Status_Type
is (Yes
, No
, None
);
69 -- This type is used to define the sharing status of a file. The default
70 -- setting of None is used if no "shared=xxx" appears in the form string
71 -- when a file is created or opened. For a file with Shared_Status set to
72 -- None, Use_Error will be raised if any other file is opened or created
73 -- with the same full name. Yes/No are set in response to the presence
74 -- of "shared=yes" or "shared=no" in the form string. In either case it
75 -- is permissible to have multiple files opened with the same full name.
76 -- All files opened simultaneously with "shared=yes" will share the same
77 -- stream with the semantics specified in the RM for file sharing. All
78 -- files opened with "shared=no" will have their own stream.
