Trying to import a C function

[Preben Randhol <randhol+valid_for_reply_from_news@pvv.org>]

Hi

Firstly I didn't manage to get florist (posix binding) to compile so
that is why I'm trying to bind this myself.

I only want to use the C stat function to find the modification date and
access time of files.

   int stat(const char *file_name, struct stat *buf);

My question is about the struct the stat function returns.

     struct stat {
         dev_t         st_dev;      /* device */
         ino_t         st_ino;      /* inode */
         mode_t        st_mode;     /* protection */
         nlink_t       st_nlink;    /* number of hard links */
         uid_t         st_uid;      /* user ID of owner */
         gid_t         st_gid;      /* group ID of owner */
         dev_t         st_rdev;     /* device type (if inode device) */
         off_t         st_size;     /* total size, in bytes */
         blksize_t     st_blksize;  /* blocksize for filesystem I/O */
         blkcnt_t      st_blocks;   /* number of blocks allocated */
         time_t        st_atime;    /* time of last access */
         time_t        st_mtime;    /* time of last modification */
         time_t        st_ctime;    /* time of last status change */
     };

After much digging I found:

   /usr/include/sys/types.h:

      typedef __dev_t dev_t;

   /usr/include/bits/types.h:

      typedef __DEV_T_TYPE __dev_t; 

   /usr/include/bits/typesizes.h:

      #define __DEV_T_TYPE           __UQUAD_TYPE

   /usr/include/bits/types.h:

      #define    __UQUAD_TYPE            unsigned long long int


So in short

      typedef unsigned long long int dev_t;

right?

Now what is the equivalent of unsigned long long int in Ada?

I don't find the info from florist, becuase it looks like you have to
manage to compile it to generate the sources needed.

System: Debian GNU/Linux on i686

Thanks in advance.
