   procedure Open
     (File_Ptr  : in out FCB.AFCB_Ptr;
      Dummy_FCB : in out FCB.AFCB'Class;
      Mode      : FCB.File_Mode;

      Creat     : Boolean;
      Text      : Boolean;
      C_Stream  : ICS.FILEs := ICS.NULL_Stream);
   --  This routine is used for both Open and Create calls:
   --
   --    File_Ptr is the file type, which must be null on entry
   --    (i.e. the file must be closed before the call).
   --
   --    Dummy_FCB is a default initialized file control block of appropriate
   --    type. Note that the tag of this record indicates the type and length
   --    of the control block. This control block is used only for the purpose
   --    of providing the controlling argument for calling the write version
   --    of Allocate_AFCB. It has no other purpose, and its fields are never
   --    read or written.
   --
   --    Mode is the required mode
   --
   --    Name is the file name, with a null string indicating that a temporary
   --    file is to be created (only permitted in create mode, not open mode)
   --
   --    Creat is True for a create call, and false for an open call
   --
   --    Text is set True to open the file in text mode (w+t or r+t) instead
   --    of the usual binary mode open (w+b or r+b).
   --
   --    Form is the form string given in the open or create call, this is
   --    stored in the AFCB, but otherwise is not used by this or any other
   --    routine in this unit (except Form which retrieves the original value)
   --
   --    Amethod indicates the access method
   --
   --      D = Direct_IO
   --      Q = Sequential_IO
   --      S = Stream_IO
   --      T = Text_IO
   --      W = Wide_Text_IO
   --
   --    C_Stream is left at its default value for the normal case of an
   --    Open or Create call as defined in the RM. The only time this is
   --    non-null is for the Open call from Ada.xxx_IO.C_Streams.Open.
   --
   --  On return, if the open/create succeeds, then the fields of File are
   --  filled in, and this value is copied to the heap. File_Ptr points to
   --  this allocated file control block. If the open/create fails, then the

   --  fields of File are undefined, and File_Ptr is unchanged.
   procedure Close (File : in out FCB.AFCB_Ptr);
   --  The file is closed, all storage associated with it is released, and
   --  File is set to null. Note that this routine calls AFCB_Close to perform
   --  any specialized close actions, then closes the file at the system level,
   --  then frees the mode and form strings, and finally calls AFCB_Free to

   --  free the file control block itself, setting File to null.
   procedure Delete (File : in out FCB.AFCB_Ptr);

   --  The indicated file is unlinked
   procedure Reset (File : in out FCB.AFCB_Ptr; Mode : in FCB.File_Mode);

   --  The file is reset, and the mode changed as indicated.
   procedure Reset (File : in out FCB.AFCB_Ptr);

   --  The files is reset, and the mode is unchanged
   function Mode (File : in FCB.AFCB_Ptr) return FCB.File_Mode;

   --  Returns the mode as supplied by create, open or reset
   function Name (File : in FCB.AFCB_Ptr) return String;
   --  Returns the file name as supplied by Open or Create. Raises Use_Error

   --  if used with temporary files or standard files.
   function Form (File : in FCB.AFCB_Ptr) return String;
   --  Returns the form as supplied by create, open or reset

   --  The string is normalized to all lower case letters.
   function Is_Open (File : in FCB.AFCB_Ptr) return Boolean;

   --  Determines if file is open or not

   -- Utility Routines --

   ----------------------
   --  Some internal routines not defined in A.8.2. These are routines which

   --  provide required common functionality shared by separate packages.
   procedure Chain_File (File : FCB.AFCB_Ptr);
   --  Used to chain the given file into the list of open files. Normally this
   --  is done implicitly by Open. Chain_File is used for the spcial cases of
   --  the system files defined by Text_IO (stdin, stdout, stderr) which are
   --  not opened in the normal manner. Note that the caller is responsible
   --  for task lock out to protect the global data structures if this is
   --  necessary (it is needed for the calls from within this unit itself,
   --  but not required for the calls from Text_IO and Wide_Text_IO that

   --  are made during elaboration of the environment task).
   procedure Check_File_Open (File : FCB.AFCB_Ptr);
   --  If the current file is not open, then Status_Error is raised.
   --  Otherwise control returns normally (with File pointing to the

   --  control block for the open file.
   procedure Check_Read_Status (File : FCB.AFCB_Ptr);
   --  If the current file is not open, then Status_Error is raised. If
   --  the file is open, then the mode is checked to ensure that reading
   --  is permitted, and if not Mode_Error is raised, otherwise control

   --  returns normally.
   procedure Check_Write_Status (File : FCB.AFCB_Ptr);
   --  If the current file is not open, then Status_Error is raised. If
   --  the file is open, then the mode is checked to ensure that writing
   --  is permitted, and if not Mode_Error is raised, otherwise control

   --  returns normally.
   function End_Of_File (File : FCB.AFCB_Ptr) return Boolean;
   --  File must be opened in read mode. True is returned if the stream is
   --  currently positioned at the end of file, otherwise False is returned.

   --  The position of the stream is not affected.
   procedure Flush (File : FCB.AFCB_Ptr);
   --  Flushes the stream associated with the given file. The file must be

   --  open and in write mode (if not, an appropriate exception is raised)

   --  Searches form string for an entry of the form Keyword=xx where xx is
   --  either Yes/No or y/n. Returns True if Yes or Y is found, False if No
   --  or N is found. If the keyword parameter is not found, returns the
   --  value given as Default. May raise Use_Error if a form string syntax

   --  error is detected. Keyword and Form must be in lower case.
   function Form_Integer

      return    Integer;
   --  Searches form string for an entry of the form Keyword=xx where xx is
   --  an unsigned decimal integer in the range 0 to 999_999. Returns this
   --  integer value if it is found. If the keyword parameter is not found,
   --  returns the value given as Default. Raise Use_Error if a form string

   --  syntax error is detected. Keyword and Form must be in lower case.
   procedure Form_Parameter
     (Form    : String;
      Keyword : String;
      Start   : out Natural;
      Stop    : out Natural);
   --  Searches form string for an entry of the form Keyword=xx and if found
   --  Sets Start and Stop to the first and last characters of xx. Keyword
   --  and Form must be in lower case. If no entry matches, then Start is
   --  set to zero. Use_Error can be raised if a malformed string is found,

   --  but there is no guarantee of full syntax checking.

   --  that the file is open in read mode. Device Error is raised if an error
   --  occurs. Count is the actual number of bytes read, which may be less

   --  than Siz if the end of file is encountered.
   procedure Append_Set (File : FCB.AFCB_Ptr);
   --  If the mode of the file is Append_File, then the file is positioned

   --  at the end of file using fseek, otherwise this call has no effect.
