SubjectSerial Patch


/*

I installed the latest tty patch. The call to open a non-existant
terminal device no longer crashes. However, it now returns a valid
handle even if the device does not exist. In this example, there
are only TWO RS-232C ports on this machine! An attempt to open
/dev/cua3 should return with -1 and the error set to something appropriate.

Interesting that it returns -1 with /dev/cua4, however. I checked to
see if there was, perhaps, a "motherboard UART" that I didn't know about.

UARTs exist at 0x2f8 and 0x3f8 only on this machine.


*/

#include <stdio.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <errno.h>
#include <sys/fcntl.h>

main()
{
int fd;

fd = open("/dev/cua3", O_RDWR|O_NONBLOCK, 0);
fprintf(stdout, "Open() returned %d, (%s)\n", fd, strerror(errno));
return 0;
}



Cheers,
Dick Johnson
