"tcsestattr" is actually provided by the operating system (AIX). The C
compiler vendor was kind enough to provide a binding of it to C. Ask
your Ada vendor to do the same, or write your own. If you have trouble
writing your own binding, post your best effort here, and maybe we can help.

Ask your Ada vendor about non-blocking reads on files, or about
setting buffering parameters on files.
