termios

[Angelo Fraietta]

I am using the following for my raw data through termios. I have not ahd an error
yet. The read blocks until a char is ready.

 bool ret = false;
 struct termios ts; // define a termios structure to modify in order to set the
terminal parameters

 Close();
 _file = open (port_name, O_RDWR);

 if (_file >= 0)
  {
   ret = true;
   // let us set the terminal up
   tcgetattr(_file, &ts);
   ts.c_lflag &= ~(ICANON | ISIG | ECHO | ECHOE |ECHOK | ECHONL | ECHOPRT);
   ts.c_cc[VMIN] = 1;
   ts.c_cc[VTIME] = 0;
   ts.c_oflag &= ~OPOST;
   ts.c_iflag &= ~ICRNL;
   ts.c_iflag &= ~BRKINT;
   ts.c_iflag |= IGNBRK;
   ts.c_iflag &= ~CRTSCTS;
   ts.c_iflag &= ~(IXON | IXOFF | IXANY);

   tcsetattr(_file, TCSANOW, &ts);
   _isOpen = true;
  }

 return ret;
