Richard Beare asks
<<The gnat os_lib package is one option, but that means the library user
would have to start using file descriptors as well. I think it would be
better if the user could pass a "file_type" from which the c file
descriptor could be extracted.

Functions to extract file descriptors from Ada files are standardly
available in GNAT, as are functions to open files givenm C file descriptors.
How do you find out about all this? You consult the ultra-secret source
of information, namely the GNAT documentation that comes with GNAT :-)
Have a look at the sceion in the manual hidden under the obscure
title "Interfacing to C Streams"
