| |
I am trying to figure out the correct approach a porting issue I am dealing with and would appreciate any pointers.
I am working on porting one of our communication products which works on a variety of OSs including Solaris, AIX etc to Linux. Basically the product provides a raw and canonical terminal interface to the applications and has been implemented in STREAMS framework.
I have downloaded the LiS - Linux STREAMS (implemented by Dave Grothe) from gcom.com. The only problem is that it is does not have any support for terminal I/O subsystem. So the processing that was handled by the 'ldterm' module on other OSs now has to be handled by the available line disciplines in the Linux kernel. While browsing the source I noticed that the default line discipline N_TTY is probably sufficient to do the job but I am not sure of the hooks. I am wondering if I can invoke the default line discipline somehow or would I have to implement the canonical processing all over again.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks, Puneet
