Subject: portable file copying in Ada
Date: 30 Jul 90 18:49:30 GMT [thread overview]
Message-ID: <26B4813A.16093@ics.uci.edu> (raw)
Is it possible to write a portable procedure to copy non-text files in
Ada? What should I use for the element type when I instantiate
SEQUENTIAL_IO? The procedure I want to write takes two file names,
and copies the contents of the file named by the first to the second.
I will not do any interpretation of the file, I just need to make an
exact copy of the contents. If the underlying operating system is
based on files containing bytes, then I want to copy bytes. If it
uses packed 27 bit words I'd be happy to copy those.
Thanks,
John Self
