--  get it if you explicitly ask for it.

--  External files may be classified as directories, special files, or ordinary
--  files. A directory is an external file that is a container for files on
--  the target system. A special file is an external file that cannot be
--  created or read by a predefined Ada Input-Output package. External files
--  that are not special files or directories are called ordinary files.

--  A file name is a string identifying an external file. Similarly, a
--  directory name is a string identifying a directory. The interpretation of
--  file names and directory names is implementation-defined.

--  The full name of an external file is a full specification of the name of
--  the file. If the external environment allows alternative specifications of
--  the name (for example, abbreviations), the full name should not use such
--  alternatives. A full name typically will include the names of all of
--  directories that contain the item. The simple name of an external file is
--  the name of the item, not including any containing directory names. Unless
--  otherwise specified, a file name or directory name parameter to a
--  predefined Ada input-output subprogram can be a full name, a simple name,
--  or any other form of name supported by the implementation.

--  The default directory is the directory that is used if a directory or
--  file name is not a full name (that is, when the name does not fully
--  identify all of the containing directories).

--  A directory entry is a single item in a directory, identifying a single
--  external file (including directories and special files).

--  For each function that returns a string, the lower bound of the returned
--  value is 1.

   --  name returned shall be suitable for a future call to Set_Directory.
   --  The exception Use_Error is propagated if a default directory is not
   --  supported by the external environment.

   procedure Set_Directory (Directory : String);
   --  Sets the current default directory. The exception Name_Error is
   --  propagated if the string given as Directory does not identify an
   --  existing directory. The exception Use_Error is propagated if the
   --  external environment does not support making Directory (in the absence
   --  of Name_Error) a default directory.

   --  string for Form specifies the use of the default options of the
   --  implementation of the new directory. The exception Name_Error is
   --  propagated if the string given as New_Directory does not allow the
   --  identification of a directory. The exception Use_Error is propagated if
   --  the external environment does not support the creation of a directory
   --  with the given name (in the absence of Name_Error) and form.

   procedure Delete_Directory (Directory : String);
   --  Deletes an existing empty directory with name Directory. The exception
   --  Name_Error is propagated if the string given as Directory does not
   --  identify an existing directory. The exception Use_Error is propagated
   --  if the external environment does not support the deletion of the
   --  directory (or some portion of its contents) with the given name (in the
   --  absence of Name_Error).

   procedure Create_Path
     (New_Directory : String;
      Form          : String := "");
   --  Creates zero or more directories with name New_Directory. Each
   --  non-existent directory named by New_Directory is created. For example,
   --  on a typical Unix system, Create_Path ("/usr/me/my"); would create
   --  directory "me" in directory "usr", then create directory "my" in
   --  directory "me". The Form can be used to give system-dependent
   --  characteristics of the directory; the interpretation of the Form
   --  parameter is implementation-defined. A null string for Form specifies
   --  the use of the default options of the implementation of the new
   --  directory. The exception Name_Error is propagated if the string given
   --  as New_Directory does not allow the identification of any directory.
   --  The exception Use_Error is propagated if the external environment does
   --  not support the creation of any directories with the given name (in the
   --  absence of Name_Error) and form.

   procedure Delete_Tree (Directory : String);
   --  Deletes an existing directory with name Directory. The directory and
   --  all of its contents (possibly including other directories) are deleted.
   --  The exception Name_Error is propagated if the string given as Directory
   --  does not identify an existing directory. The exception Use_Error is
   --  propagated if the external environment does not support the deletion of
   --  the directory or some portion of its contents with the given name (in
   --  the absence of Name_Error). If Use_Error is propagated, it is
   --  unspecified if a portion of the contents of the directory are deleted.

   procedure Delete_File (Name : String);
   --  Deletes an existing ordinary or special file with Name. The exception
   --  Name_Error is propagated if the string given as Name does not identify
   --  an existing ordinary or special external file. The exception Use_Error
   --  is propagated if the external environment does not support the deletion
   --  of the file with the given name (in the absence of Name_Error).

   procedure Rename (Old_Name, New_Name : String);
   --  Renames an existing external file (including directories) with Old_Name
   --  to New_Name. The exception Name_Error is propagated if the string given
   --  as Old_Name does not identify an existing external file. The exception
   --  Use_Error is propagated if the external environment does not support the
   --  renaming of the file with the given name (in the absence of Name_Error).
   --  In particular, Use_Error is propagated if a file or directory already
   --  exists with New_Name.

   procedure Copy_File
     (Source_Name   : String;
      Target_Name   : String;
      Form          : String := "");
   --  Copies the contents of the existing external file with Source_Name
   --  to Target_Name. The resulting external file is a duplicate of the source
   --  external file. The Form can be used to give system-dependent
   --  characteristics of the resulting external file; the interpretation of
   --  the Form parameter is implementation-defined. Exception Name_Error is
   --  propagated if the string given as Source_Name does not identify an
   --  existing external ordinary or special file or if the string given as
   --  Target_Name does not allow the identification of an external file.
   --  The exception Use_Error is propagated if the external environment does

   --  Source_Name (in the absence of Name_Error).


   --  File and directory name operations:

   function Full_Name (Name : String) return String;
   --  Returns the full name corresponding to the file name specified by Name.
   --  The exception Name_Error is propagated if the string given as Name does
   --  not allow the identification of an external file (including directories
   --  and special files).

   function Simple_Name (Name : String) return String;
   --  Returns the simple name portion of the file name specified by Name. The
   --  exception Name_Error is propagated if the string given as Name does not
   --  allow the identification of an external file (including directories and
   --  special files).

   function Containing_Directory (Name : String) return String;
   --  Returns the name of the containing directory of the external file
   --  (including directories) identified by Name. If more than one directory
   --  can contain Name, the directory name returned is implementation-defined.
   --  The exception Name_Error is propagated if the string given as Name does
   --  not allow the identification of an external file. The exception
   --  Use_Error is propagated if the external file does not have a containing
   --  directory.

   function Extension (Name : String) return String;
   --  Returns the extension name corresponding to Name. The extension name is
   --  a portion of a simple name (not including any separator characters),
   --  typically used to identify the file class. If the external environment
   --  does not have extension names, then the null string is returned.
   --  The exception Name_Error is propagated if the string given as Name does
   --  not allow the identification of an external file.

   function Base_Name (Name : String) return String;
   --  Returns the base name corresponding to Name. The base name is the
   --  remainder of a simple name after removing any extension and extension
   --  separators. The exception Name_Error is propagated if the string given
   --  as Name does not allow the identification of an external file
   --  (including directories and special files).

      Name                 : String;
      Extension            : String := "") return String;
   --  Returns the name of the external file with the specified
   --  Containing_Directory, Name, and Extension. If Extension is the null
   --  string, then Name is interpreted as a simple name; otherwise Name is
   --  interpreted as a base name. The exception Name_Error is propagated if
   --  the string given as Containing_Directory is not null and does not allow
   --  the identification of a directory, or if the string given as Extension
   --  is not null and is not a possible extension, or if the string given as
   --  Name is not a possible simple name (if Extension is null) or base name
   --  (if Extension is non-null).

   --  identification of an existing external file.

   function Size (Name : String) return File_Size;
   --  Returns the size of the external file represented by Name. The size of
   --  an external file is the number of stream elements contained in the file.
   --  If the external file is discontiguous (not all elements exist), the

   --  Constraint_Error is propagated if the file size is not a value of type
   --  File_Size.

   function Modification_Time (Name : String) return Ada.Calendar.Time;
   --  Returns the time that the external file represented by Name was most
   --  recently modified. If the external file is not an ordinary file, the
   --  result is implementation-defined. The exception Name_Error is propagated
   --  if the string given as Name does not allow the identification of an

   type Directory_Entry_Type is limited private;

   --  These items can only be created by the Get_Next_Entry procedure in this
   --  package. Information about the item can be obtained from the functions
   --  declared in this package. A default initialized object of this type is
   --  invalid; objects returned from Get_Next_Entry are valid.

   type Filter_Type is array (File_Kind) of Boolean;
   --  The type Filter_Type specifies which directory entries are provided from
   --  a search operation. If the Directory component is True, directory
   --  entries representing directories are provided. If the Ordinary_File
   --  component is True, directory entries representing ordinary files are
   --  provided. If the Special_File component is True, directory entries
   --  representing special files are provided.

   type Search_Type is limited private;
   --  The type Search_Type contains the state of a directory search. A
   --  default-initialized Search_Type object has no entries available
   --  (More_Entries returns False).

   --  defined. Only items which match Filter will be returned. After a
   --  successful call on Start_Search, the object Search may have entries
   --  available, but it may have no entries available if no files or
   --  directories match Pattern and Filter. The exception Name_Error is
   --  propagated if the string given by Directory does not identify an
   --  existing directory, or if Pattern does not allow the identification of
   --  any possible external file or directory. The exception Use_Error is
   --  propagated if the external environment does not support the searching
   --  of the directory with the given name (in the absence of Name_Error).

   procedure End_Search (Search : in out Search_Type);
   --  Ends the search represented by Search. After a successful call on
   --  End_Search, the object Search will have no entries available. Note
   --  that is is not necessary to call End_Search if the call to Start_Search
   --  was unsuccessful and raised an exception (but it is harmless to make
   --  the call in this case)>
