- -- Abstract :
- -- This CAIS package provides a robust subset of the inter-
- -- faces defined in the proposed Military Standard Common Apse
- -- Interface Set(CAIS). The goal of MIL-STD-CAIS is to promote
- -- tool portability by providing a standardized set of calls for
- -- operating system services. It is also hoped that definition
- -- of a generalized node model will increase the interoperability
- -- of tool sets.
- --
- -- This subset includes:
- -- 5.1.1,2,3,5 -- Node_Definitions, Node_Management,
- -- Attributes, and Structural_Nodes
- -- 5.3.1,1-4,10-- Io_Definitions ,Direct_Io, Sequential_Io,
- -- Text_Io, and File_Import_Export (also a
- -- few procedures from Scroll_Terminal)
- -- 5.4.1-20,21 -- List_Utilities, Identifier_Items, and
- -- String_Items
- -- The interfaces not included are Access_Control, Process_Control,
- -- Io_Control, the Io device packages, Float_Item, and Integer_Item.
- --
- -- It is intended that this CAIS subset be used to investigate
- -- the extent to which CAIS supports the needs of software
- -- development tools. Only by rehosting tools and their data to
- -- CAIS can the viability of CAIS be determined.
