How to convert a C "char *" value to Ada string?
There is
function To_Ada (Item : in char_array;
Trim_Nul : in Boolean := True)
return String;
in package Interfaces.C, but it receives an array not a pointer (= access).
So I don't understand how to do this simple thing.

You didn't look far enough in the RM. Look at Interfaces.C.Strings and/or Interfaces.C.Pointers (B.3.1 and B.3.2, respectively). You probably want Interfaces.C.Strings.
