24 | Introduction | |
25 | ============ | |
26 | ||
27 | libserialport is a minimal library written in C that is intended to take care | |
28 | of the OS-specific details when writing software that uses serial ports. | |
29 | ||
30 | By writing your serial code to use libserialport, you enable it to work | |
31 | transparently on any platform supported by the library. | |
32 | ||
33 | The operations that are supported are: | |
34 | ||
091e75fe ML |
35 | - \ref Enumeration (obtaining a list of serial ports on the system). |
36 | - \ref Ports | |
37 | - \ref Configuration (baud rate, parity, etc) | |
38 | - \ref Data | |
39 | - \ref Errors | |

43 | API principles |
44 | ============== | |
cd5f5281 ML |
45 | |
46 | The API is simple, and designed to be a minimal wrapper around the serial port | |
47 | support in each OS. | |
48 | ||
49 | Most functions take a pointer to a struct sp_port, which represents a serial | |
091e75fe ML |
50 | port. These structures are always allocated and freed by the library, using |
51 | the functions in the \ref Enumeration "Enumeration" section. | |
cd5f5281 ML |
52 | |
53 | All functions can return only three possible error values. SP_ERR_ARG indicates | |
54 | the function was called with invalid arguments. SP_ERR_FAIL indicates that the | |
55 | OS reported a failure. SP_ERR_MEM indicates that a memory allocation failed. | |
56 | All of these error values are negative. | |
57 | ||
58 | When SP_ERR_FAIL is returned, an error code or string description of the error | |
59 | can be obtained by calling sp_last_error_code() or sp_last_error_message(). The | |
60 | error code or message is that provided by the OS; libserialport does not define | |
61 | any error codes or messages of its own. | |
62 | ||
63 | Function calls that succeed return SP_OK, which is equal to zero, or where | |
64 | otherwise documented a positive value. | |
