- -- Abstract :
- ----------------: IO_SUPPORT is a companion package for SYSDEP,
- -- a system dependencies package that provides console input and
- -- console output without echo on the input and without control
- -- character interpretation. IO_SUPPORT, which employs SYSDEP,
- -- provides an input line editor and interfaces to the routines
- -- in SYSDEP which provide a greater degree of functionality than
- -- SYSDEP itself provides.
- --
- -- For applications which are embedded and do not require
- -- features of TEXT_IO other than simple character or string I/O,
- -- IO_SUPPORT with SYSDEP offer an alternative to withing in the
- -- entire TEXT_IO package.
- --
- -- The philosophy behind creating SYSDEP is to provide low-level
- -- I/O routines which can be built upon to implement applications which
- -- require raw I/O, such as communications servers and character-oriented
- -- tools. IO_SUPPORT goes one step further by providing a set of
- -- commonly-used routines around SYSDEP, preventing the need for
- -- constantly reinventing the basic wheel.
