Close or reset a serial port

sacbravo · 12-18-2011, 10:05 PM

Hello,

Currently I have a code that opens a serial port in linux and sends data on it.
When I execute the code for a second time, It gets stuck because I'm unable to close the port.

Is there any shell script or C program using which I can close serial port? Im using Qt 4.7.4. The close(); command is not doing the job.

So you read a return code from a system call, and it says the port is 'stuck'? To get useful help, you should give clear descriptions of what actually happens, and show the code we are expected to help you with in [CODE][/CODE] tags, please. What does lsof say about the open port? What is the state of the process that had opened the port? Has all of the data to send been flushed? Only the process that had open()ed the port can close() it.
