Such functions are standardized in the POSIX.5 standard
(IEEE Std 1003.5), not in the Ada Reference Manual. Ada is used
on systems that have no file system, therefore it makes sense
to modularize the standards a bit. The POSIX standard is responsible
for the API for accessing operating resources such as directories,
network connections, etc.
