-- 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;
-- types related to dates are defined here instead of using the types
-- from Calendar, since use of Calendar forces linking in of tasking code.
-- Except where specifically noted, these routines are portable across
-- all GNAT implementations on all supported operating systems.

package GNAT.OS_Lib is
pragma Elaborate_Body (OS_Lib);
type String_Access is access all String;
-- General purpose string access type
procedure Free is new Unchecked_Deallocation
(Object => String, Name => String_Access);
type String_List is array (Positive range <>) of String_Access;
type String_List_Access is access all String_List;
-- General purpose array and pointer for list of string accesses
---------------------
-- Time/Date Stuff --
---------------------
-- The OS's notion of time is represented by the private type OS_Time.
-- This is the type returned by the File_Time_Stamp functions to obtain
-- the time stamp of a specified file. Functions and a procedure (modeled
-- after the similar subprograms in package Calendar) are provided for
-- extracting information from a value of this type. Although these are
-- called GM, the intention is not that they provide GMT times in all
-- cases but rather the actual (time-zone independent) time stamp of the
-- file (of course in Unix systems, this *is* in GMT form).

-- File Stuff --
----------------
-- 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).
type File_Descriptor is private;
-- Corresponds to the int file handle values used in the C routines,
Standin : constant File_Descriptor;
Standout : constant File_Descriptor;
Standerr : constant File_Descriptor;
-- File descriptors for standard input output files
Invalid_FD : constant File_Descriptor;
-- File descriptor returned when error in opening/creating file;
type Mode is (Binary, Text);
for Mode'Size use Integer'Size;
for Mode use (Binary => 0, Text => 1);
-- 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
-- of Text where appropriate allows programs to take a portable Unix view
-- of DOs-format files and process them appropriately.
function Open_Read

-- returned is Invalid_FD if file cannot be opened.
function Open_Read_Write

function Create_File

function Create_New_File
(Name : String;
Fmode : Mode)
return File_Descriptor;
-- Create new file with given name for writing, returning file descriptor
-- for subsequent use in Write calls. This differs from Create_File in
-- that it fails if the file already exists. File descriptor returned is
-- Invalid_FD if the file exists or cannot be created.

-- Length of name returned by Create_Temp_File call (GNAT-XXXXXX & NUL)
subtype Temp_File_Name is String (1 .. Temp_File_Len);
-- String subtype set by Create_Temp_File
procedure Create_Temp_File
(FD : out File_Descriptor;
Name : out Temp_File_Name);
-- Create and open for writing a temporary file. The name of the
-- file and the File Descriptor are returned. The File Descriptor
-- returned is Invalid_FD in the case of failure. No mode parameter
-- is provided. Since this is a temporary file, there is no point in
-- doing text translation on it.

procedure Delete_File (Name : String; Success : out Boolean);

return Integer;
pragma Import (C, Read, "read");

return Integer;
pragma Import (C, Write, "write");

function Normalize_Pathname

return String;
-- Returns a file name as an absolute path name, resolving all relative
-- directories, and symbolic links. The parameter Directory is a fully
-- resolved path name for a directory, or the empty string (the default).
-- Name is the name of a file, which is either relative to the given
-- directory name, if Directory is non-null, or to the current working
-- directory if Directory is null. The result returned is the normalized
-- name of the file. For most cases, if two file names designate the same
-- 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.
--
-- If Name cannot be resolved or is null on entry (for example if there is
-- a circularity in symbolic links: A is a symbolic link for B, while 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.
function Is_Absolute_Path (Name : String) return Boolean;
-- Returns True if Name is an absolute path name, i.e. it designates
-- a directory absolutely, rather than relative to another directory.
function Is_Regular_File (Name : String) return Boolean;
-- Determines if the given string, Name, is the name of an existing
-- regular file. Returns True if so, False otherwise.
function Is_Directory (Name : String) return Boolean;
-- Determines if the given string, Name, is the name of a directory.
-- Returns True if so, False otherwise.
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.
function Locate_Exec_On_Path
(Exec_Name : String)
return String_Access;
-- Try to locate an executable whose name is given by Exec_Name in the
-- directories listed in the environment Path. If the Exec_Name doesn't
-- have the executable suffix, it will be appended before the search.
-- Otherwise works like Locate_Regular_File below.
--
-- Note that this function allocates some memory for the returned value.
-- This memory needs to be deallocated after use.
function Locate_Regular_File
(File_Name : String;
Path : String)
return String_Access;
-- Try to locate a regular file whose name is given by File_Name in the
-- directories listed in Path. If a file is found, its full pathname is
-- returned; otherwise, a null pointer is returned. If the File_Name given
-- is an absolute pathname, then Locate_Regular_File just checks that the
-- file exists and is a regular file. Otherwise, the Path argument is
-- parsed according to OS conventions, and for each directory in the Path
-- a check is made if File_Name is a relative pathname of a regular file
-- from that directory.
--
-- Note that this function allocates some memory for the returned value.
-- This memory needs to be deallocated after use.
function Get_Debuggable_Suffix return String_Access;
-- Return the debuggable suffix convention. Usually this is the same as
-- the convention for Get_Executable_Suffix.
--
-- Note that this function allocates some memory for the returned value.
-- This memory needs to be deallocated after use.
function Get_Executable_Suffix return String_Access;
-- Return the executable suffix convention.
--
-- Note that this function allocates some memory for the returned value.
-- This memory needs to be deallocated after use.
function Get_Object_Suffix return String_Access;
-- Return the object suffix convention.
--
-- Note that this function allocates some memory for the returned value.
-- This memory needs to be deallocated after use.
-- The following section contains low-level routines using addresses to
-- pass file name and executable name. In each routine the name must be
-- Nul-Terminated. For complete documentation refer to the equivalent
-- routine (but using string) defined above.
subtype C_File_Name is System.Address;
-- This subtype is used to document that a parameter is the address
-- of a null-terminated string containing the name of a file.

-- Subprocesses --
------------------
subtype Argument_List is String_List;
-- Type used for argument list in call to Spawn. The lower bound
-- of the array should be 1, and the length of the array indicates
-- the number of arguments.
subtype Argument_List_Access is String_List_Access;
-- Type used to return an Argument_List without dragging in secondary
-- stack.
procedure Spawn
(Program_Name : String;
Args : Argument_List;
Success : out Boolean);
-- The first parameter of function Spawn is the name of the executable.
-- The second parameter contains the arguments to be passed to the
-- 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 (notably Unix systems) a simple file
-- name may also work (if the executable can be located in the path).
--
-- Note: Arguments that contain spaces and/or quotes such as
-- "--GCC=gcc -v" or "--GCC=""gcc-v""" are not portable
-- across OSes. They may or may not have the desired effect.
function Spawn
(Program_Name : String;
Args : Argument_List)
return Integer;
-- Like above, but as function returning the exact exit status
type Process_Id is private;
-- A private type used to identify a process activated by the following
-- non-blocking call. The only meaningful operation on this type is a
-- comparison for equality.
Invalid_Pid : constant Process_Id;
-- A special value used to indicate errors, as described below.
function Non_Blocking_Spawn
(Program_Name : String;
Args : Argument_List)
return Process_Id;
-- This is a non blocking call. The Process_Id of the spawned process
-- is returned. Parameters are to be used as in Spawn. If Invalid_Id
-- is returned the program could not be spawned.
procedure Wait_Process (Pid : out Process_Id; Success : out Boolean);
-- Wait for the completion of any of the processes created by previous
-- calls to Non_Blocking_Spawn. The caller will be suspended until one
-- of these processes terminates (normally or abnormally). If any of
-- these subprocesses terminates prior to the call to Wait_Process (and
-- has not been returned by a previous call to Wait_Process), then the
-- call to Wait_Process is immediate. Pid identifies the process that
-- has terminated (matching the value returned from Non_Blocking_Spawn).
-- Success is set to True if this sub-process terminated successfully.
-- If Pid = Invalid_Id, there were no subprocesses left to wait on.
function Argument_String_To_List

-------------------
function Getenv (Name : String) return String_Access;
-- Get the value of the environment variable. Returns an access
-- to the empty string if the environment variable does not exist
-- or has an explicit null value (in some operating systems these
-- are distinct cases, in others they are not; this interface
-- abstracts away that difference.
procedure Setenv (Name : String; Value : String);
-- Set the value of the environment variable Name to Value. This call
-- modifies the current environment, but does not modify the parent
-- process environment. After a call to Setenv, Getenv (Name) will
-- always return a String_Access referencing the same String as Value.
-- This is 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 operating system dependent). Note that any following
-- calls to Spawn will pass an environment to the spawned process that
-- includes the changes made by Setenv calls. This procedure is not
-- available under VMS.
procedure OS_Exit (Status : Integer);

-- Exit to OS with given status code (program is terminated)
procedure OS_Abort;
