There is no Ada way of doing that, because such operations are OS-specific.
Otherwise, you use the services provided by the OS at hand. E.g. under
Windows you call CreateFile, then do ReadFile. These are provided by
Win32Ada bindings.
There are also some libraries available that provide some layer of OS
abstraction, e.g. Glib. For these there exist Ada bindings as well.
