"... Now, I have tried to display the contents of Chars1 but I don't
know how. I have tried several ways but no one worked."

Convert to String and print with Ada.Text_IO.Put_Line. (There should be
a To_Ada function or similar in Interfaces.C (or its child Strings) to
convert a chars_array to String.)

"... Does someone knows if there are examples which explain the access
to the C interface functions. It would be very nice if someone can give
me references or examples."

For examples look at _bindings_ to C libraries e.g. database systems
(Postgres, MySQL), graphics (X), Windows libraires, etc. There is a lot
online. Start in AdaPower.Com as usual.

I don't know of any 'tutorial' online, but I'm sure Cohen's book
explains the issue.
