UNIX dependent features and general utilities in PHCv2. New in this release is the inclusion of test programs (prefix "ts_"). -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- file name : short description -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- natural_io : instantiation of text_io with natural integer_io : instantiation of text_io with integer unix_resource_usage : auxiliary package for timing timing_package : measures usage of computing resources sun_timing_package : particular implementation for SunSparc Solaris other_timing_package : implementation for IBM RS/6000, Dec/Ultrix system_call : allows to execute UNIX system commands machines : specific system calls unix_command_line : handling arguments on the command line bye_bye_message : message at the end of the program communications_with_user : dialogue to manipulate files, choose options file_scanning : scanning a file for text banners -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ts_timer : timing of summation of natural numbers ts_syscall : execution of a system call : "ls" ts_mach : prints system information of current process ts_cmdline : prints the arguments of the command line ts_byemess : prints the message at the end of the program ts_commuser : tests the dialogues with the user ts_filescan : reads a file name and banner, and scans for it -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The timing package comes in two implementations. The current one is linked to the package that must be used on SunSparc Solaris machines. For IBM RS/6000 and Dec/Ultrix, use the other implementation. A package like Unix_Command_Line is available in some form in most Ada compiling systems. For encapsulation purposes it is included here. The file scanning operations are part of the database management of the system input files to PHC. There are 28 files in this directory: besides the READ_ME file, 10 files are specifications (ads), the other 17 files are implementations (adb). wc *adb counts 1695 lines of Ada code
