Appendix C. The Predefined Library

This appendix lists the units in the Ada 95 predefined library, and indicates whether a unit is supported or not. The answer "Yes" means the unit is supported in the default profile, and maybe in the other profiles. The answer "Restricted..." means the unit is not supported in any profile because of a built-in restriction.
