package Switch.C is

     (Switch_Chars : String;
      Args         : String_List;
      Arg_Rank     : Positive);
   --  Procedures to scan out front end switches stored in the given string.
   --  The first character is known to be a valid switch character, and there
   --  are no blanks or other switch terminator characters in the string, so
   --  the entire string should consist of valid switch characters, except that
   --  an optional terminating NUL character is allowed. A bad switch causes
   --  a fatal error exit and control does not return. The call also sets
   --  Usage_Requested to True if a switch -gnath is encountered.
   --
   --  Args is the full list of command line arguments. Arg_Rank is the
   --  position of the switch in Args. It is used for certain switches -gnatx
   --  to check if a subsequent switch -gnat-x cancels the switch -gnatx.
