This subclause presents the specifications of the package Strings and
several child packages, which provide facilities for dealing with string
data. Fixed-length, bounded-length, and unbounded-length strings are
supported, for String, Wide_String, and Wide_Wide_String. The string-handling
subprograms include searches for pattern strings and for characters in
program-specified sets, translation (via a character-to-character mapping),
and transformation (replacing, inserting, overwriting, and deleting of
substrings).
