32--  Operating system interface facilities
33
34--  This package contains types and procedures for interfacing to the
35--  underlying OS. It is used by the GNAT compiler and by tools associated
36--  with the GNAT compiler, and therefore works for the various operating
37--  systems to which GNAT has been ported. This package will undoubtedly grow
38--  as new services are needed by various tools.
39
40--  This package tends to use fairly low-level Ada in order to not bring in
41--  large portions of the RTL. For example, functions return access to string
42--  as part of avoiding functions returning unconstrained types.
43
44--  Except where specifically noted, these routines are portable across all
45--  GNAT implementations on all supported operating systems.
