These are services of the Operating System, not of Ada (the programming
language), neither of the American Dental Association. You can call the OS
services from an Ada program, thru a _binding_. I bet you can find a
couple of packages implementing such bindings freely available on the
Internet. If you are using GNAT, you already have it: GNAT.OS_Lib :-)
