Without knowing exactly what you are aiming at :

1) Cut'n'paste File_Type into your code; manually
hook the stream in; UC it into and Ada.Text_Io file type.

2) If possible (using GNAT 3.15p packages) try using
the package Ada.Text_Io.C_Streams which can hook up
a "C" style stream to an Ada.Text_Io.File_Type.

Not much help, but I vaguely recall that the 2nd method
(Ada.Text_Io.C_Streams.Open) can be very useful in that
one can use Text_Io to do the parsing instead of having
to reimplement parsers to look for "CRLF" or "LF" etc
for oneself.
