gnatkr ¶The default file naming rule in GNAT is that the file name must be derived from the unit name. The exact default rule is as follows:
a, g, s, or i,
then replace the dot by the character
~ (tilde)
instead of a minus.
The reason for this exception is to avoid clashes
with the standard names for children of System, Ada, Interfaces,
and GNAT, which use the prefixes
s-, a-, i-, and g-,
respectively.
The -gnatk`nn'
switch of the compiler activates a ‘krunching’
circuit that limits file names to nn characters (where nn is a decimal
integer).
The gnatkr utility can be used to determine the krunched name for
a given file, when krunched to a specified maximum length.
