That should not be the problem. The POSIX.5 standard can easily be ordered from IEEE as IEEE Std 1003.5b-1996 Standard for Information Technology--POSIX Ada Language Interfaces--Part 1: Binding for System Applications Program Interface (API), 550 pages, ISBN 1-55937-758-5, US$ 112 (for IEEE members), order code SH94432-NYF. either from IEEE Publications Tel: +1-732-981-1393 (1-800-678-IEEE) Fax: +1-732-981-9667 or IEEE Computer Society Publications 10662 Los Vaqueros Circle PO Box 3014 Los Alamitos, CA 90720-1264 USA Tel: +1-714-821-8380 Fax: +1-714-821-4010 There seem to be some partial POSIX.5 packages for Linux and other Unices around, for instance Forest 1.3 on http://www.informatik.uni-stuttgart.de/ifi/ps/ada-software/html/os_env.html It would be nice to have this completed and become part of the standard GNAT distribution plus as you mentioned some homemade extentions for sockets, symlinks, etc., until we have a POSIX Ada binding for those, too.
