I'm in need of help.
I have been pouring over the man pages on termios, ioctl, etc. Then I
checked out the Using C on the UNIX System book, and it seems just a bit
dated, and is actually worthless on port control. I went to the
/usr/share/docs for help and was very disappointed.
So where do I go for good documentation on serial programming?
>From what I see, termios seems the way to go, but the documentation is
spread all over the place, and I seem to have to just run into the
information.
I've looked at the source for tip/cu and getty but the programs go about
opening the port differently. Then after looking at sliplogin, there is
the whole issue of POSIX or not.
Help!
