Well I am not sure that it would prove useful to try to detail the exact
conditions under which use error etc are raised anyway. The exact details
are quite target dependent, and no well written code in Ada should depend
on these kind of implementation differences anyway. So yes, these are indeed
fairly obscure.
The code of the I/O packages is actually quite transparent, and it is not so
unreasonable to suggest that people look at this code if they want to know more
about the exact mapping of Ada stuff to OS stuff. For one thing there are many
implementation defined choices here that are NOT required to be documented. In
particular, you really need to know these details if you plan to mix Ada and
C simultaneous I/O.
