The best way of doing this is by using the POSIX 1003.5 standard binding
(is there one for GNAT ?). Ada's standard IO packages are far from a full
interface to the unix filesystem.

Setting file attributes in ADA 95

[Jason Yates]

I am creating a program that writes a file on a Sun box. I need to set the
file attriutes to read / execute so other users can access the file, i.e
<chmod 755 filename>. I am new to ADA so any help would be appreciated. BTW
I am using the GNAT complier.

TIA,

Be sure to look at package Ada.Text_IO.C_Streams in file a-tiocst.ads
which allows you to gt your hands on the c stream in use, so you acn
call standard C routines for messing with such things. There are
similar packages for direct and seqeuntial IO.

This is not an Ada question. You can set your umask to 022 to get
everything but the execute (x) bit. At the end of generation, a script
command using chmod could also do it. You could also import a "C"
subroutine which issues the chmod command, if your Ada does not include the
"system" command.
