You (obviously) need to call the operating system to do this.
Unix requires a C -calling convention- (not for you to call
from a C program), and this can be done from Ada by using
the appropriate pragrams.
Prebuilt solutions include the Posix interface Florist, and
a couple of others that are about.
If you know Ada it's not a very hard job to create such a binding.
