From A.10.8 (Input-Output for Integer Types):

15
procedure Get(From : in String; Item : out Num; Last : out Positive);
16
Reads an integer value from the beginning of the given string,
following the same rules as the Get procedure that reads an integer
value from a file, but treating the end of the string as a file
terminator. Returns, in the parameter Item, the value of type Num that
corresponds to the sequence input. Returns in Last the index value
such that From(Last) is the last character read.
17
The exception Data_Error is propagated if the sequence input does not
have the required syntax or if the value obtained is not of the
subtype Num.
18
procedure Put(To   : out String;
              Item : in Num;
              Base : in Number_Base := Default_Base);
19
Outputs the value of the parameter Item to the given string, following
the same rule as for output to a file, using the length of the given
string as the value for Width.
