Actually if you are an experienced C programmer, then this should be very
easy to understand because that means that you know the standard C calling
sequence. One way incidentally to further understand these thin bindings,
especially if you know C, is to look at the source code for the
implementation, which is a very direct interface to the corresponding C
routines. In particular the form of the arguments is identical to that passed
to C.

As for the question of how to break a string up into arguments, that is a
reasonable question of how to do string processing in Ada, but has nothing
to do with Spawn per se, and would not even appear in an example of how
to use Spawn.
