--  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.

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

--  Note: this package is in the System hierarchy so that it can be directly
--  be used by other predefined packages. User access to this package is via
--  a renaming of this package in GNAT.OS_Lib (file g-os_lib.ads).

   ----------------

   --  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).

   --  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

   --  file through different paths, Normalize_Pathname will return the same
   --  canonical name in both cases. However, there are cases when this is not
   --  true; for example, this is not true in Unix for two hard links
   --  designating the same file.
   --
   --  On Windows, the returned path will start with a drive letter except
   --  when Directory is not empty and does not include a drive letter. If
   --  Directory is empty (the default) and Name is a relative path or an

   --
   --  If Name cannot be resolved or is null on entry (for example if there is
   --  symbolic link circularity, e.g. A is a symbolic link for B, and B is a
   --  symbolic link for A), then Normalize_Pathname returns an empty  string.
   --
   --  In VMS, if Name follows the VMS syntax file specification, it is first
   --  converted into Unix syntax. If the conversion fails, Normalize_Pathname
   --  returns an empty string.
   --
   --  For case-sensitive file systems, the value of Case_Sensitive parameter
   --  is ignored. For file systems that are not case-sensitive, such as
   --  Windows and OpenVMS, if this parameter is set to False, then the file
   --  and directory names are folded to lower case. This allows checking
   --  whether two files are the same by applying this function to their names
   --  and comparing the results. If Case_Sensitive is set to True, this

   --  access.

   function Is_Executable_File (Name : String) return Boolean;

   --  access.

   function Is_Writable_File (Name : String) return Boolean;
   --  Determines if the given string, Name, is the name of an existing file
   --  that is writable. Returns True if so, False otherwise. Note that this
   --  function simply interrogates the file attributes (e.g. using the C
   --  function stat), so it does not indicate a situation in which a file may

   function Is_Symbolic_Link (Name : String) return Boolean;

   --  Normalize all arguments in the list. This ensure that the argument list
   --  is compatible with the running OS and will works fine with Spawn and
   --  Non_Blocking_Spawn for example. If Normalize_Arguments is called twice
   --  on the same list it will do nothing the second time. Note that Spawn
   --  and Non_Blocking_Spawn call Normalize_Arguments automatically, but
   --  since there is a guarantee that a second call does nothing, this
   --  internal call will have no effect if Normalize_Arguments is called
   --  before calling Spawn. The call to Normalize_Arguments assumes that the
   --  individual referenced arguments in Argument_List are on the heap, and
   --  may free them and reallocate if they are modified.

   procedure Spawn

   --  contains the arguments to be passed to this program. Success is False
   --  if the named program could not be spawned or its execution completed
   --  unsuccessfully. Note that the caller will be blocked until the
   --  execution of the spawned program is complete. For maximum portability,
   --  use a full path name for the Program_Name argument. On some systems

   --  operating systems, and would not have the desired effect if they were
   --  passed directly to the operating system. To avoid this problem, Spawn
   --  makes an internal call to Normalize_Arguments, which ensures that such
   --  arguments are modified in a manner that ensures that the desired effect
   --  is obtained on all operating systems. The caller may call
   --  Normalize_Arguments explicitly before the call (e.g. to print out the
   --  exact form of arguments passed to the operating system). In this case
   --  the guarantee a second call to Normalize_Arguments has no effect

   -------------------------------------
   -- NOTE: Spawn in Tasking Programs --
   -------------------------------------

   --  Spawning processes in tasking programs using the above Spawn and
   --  Non_Blocking_Spawn subprograms is not recommended, because there are
   --  subtle interactions between creating a process and signals/locks that
   --  can cause trouble. These issues are not specific to Ada; they depend
   --  primarily on the operating system.

   --  If you need to spawn processes in a tasking program, you will need to
   --  understand the semantics of your operating system, and you are likely to
   --  write non-portable code, because operating systems differ in this area.

   --  The Spawn and Non_Blocking_Spawn subprograms call the following
   --  operating system functions:

   --     On Windows: spawnvp (blocking) or CreateProcess (non-blocking)

   --     On Solaris: fork1, followed in the child process by execv

   --     On other Unix-like systems, and on VMS: fork, followed in the child
   --     process by execv.

   --     On vxworks, nucleus, and RTX, spawning of processes is not supported

   --  For details, look at the functions __gnat_portable_spawn and
   --  __gnat_portable_no_block_spawn in adaint.c.

   --  You should read the operating-system-specific documentation for the
   --  above functions, paying special attention to subtle interactions with
   --  threading, signals, locks, and file descriptors. Most of the issues are
   --  related to the fact that on Unix, there is a window of time between fork
   --  and execv; Windows does not have this problem, because spawning is done
   --  in a single operation.

   --  On Posix-compliant systems, such as Linux, fork duplicates just the
   --  calling thread. (On Solaris, fork1 is the Posix-compliant version of
   --  fork.)

   --  You should avoid using signals while spawning. This includes signals
   --  used internally by the Ada run-time system, such as timer signals used
   --  to implement delay statements.

   --  It is best to spawn any subprocesses very early, before the parent
   --  process creates tasks, locks, or installs signal handlers. Certainly
   --  avoid doing simultaneous spawns from multiple threads of the same
   --  process.

   --  There is no problem spawning a subprocess that uses tasking: the
   --  problems are caused only by tasking in the parent.

   --  If the parent is using tasking, and needs to spawn subprocesses at
   --  arbitrary times, one technique is for the parent to spawn (very early)
   --  a particular spawn-manager subprocess whose job is to spawn other
   --  processes. The spawn-manager must avoid tasking. The parent sends
   --  messages to the spawn-manager requesting it to spawn processes, using
   --  whatever inter-process communication mechanism you like, such as
   --  sockets.

   --  In short, mixing spawning of subprocesses with tasking is a tricky
   --  business, and should be avoided if possible, but if it is necessary,
   --  the above guidelines should be followed, and you should beware of
   --  portability problems.

   --  true also for the null string case (the actual effect may be to either
   --  set an explicit null as the value, or to remove the entry, this is
