Someone has bound to have done this before... hopefully.

Using Ada to import a function is easy, but if the function parameter
returns
a value, how is the Ada error overcome.  As I want the return value as
well
as the out parameter.  Is there away round this using a pragma?

GNAT AdA compiler running under Unix, the function being imported is a
Unix 'pipe'.

Anyone have any ideas on this?
