Folks,

For using the serial ports in aprogram (C, C++), is there a serial communications library ? What do you use if you need to write software that deals with receving/transmitting data over the serial port ? Do you write the serial communications routines from scratch ? Or is it so easy with Linux that one does not need a library ?

Anyhow, if anyone knows of a serial communication library, free or commercial, I'd like to know. If you have hints and suggestions about serial communication programming under Linux, I'd also like to know.

Cheers,
Al

This is the "standard" guide to serial port programming:
