These structures are always allocated and freed by the library, using * the functions in the @ref Enumeration "Enumeration" section. * * All functions can return only three possible error values. @ref SP_ERR_ARG * indicates the function was called with invalid arguments. @ref SP_ERR_FAIL * indicates that the OS reported a failure. @ref SP_ERR_MEM indicates that a * memory allocation failed. All of these error values are negative. * * When @ref SP_ERR_FAIL is returned, an error code or string description of * the error can be obtained by calling sp_last_error_code() or * sp_last_error_message(). The error code or message is that provided by the * OS; libserialport does not define any error codes or messages of its own. * * Function calls that succeed return @ref SP_OK, which is equal to zero, * or where otherwise documented a positive value. */ #ifndef LIBSERIALPORT_H #define LIBSERIALPORT_H #ifdef __cplusplus extern "C" { #endif #include #ifdef _WIN32 #include #endif /* Package version macros (e.g. for conditional compilation). */ #define SP_PACKAGE_VERSION_MAJOR @SP_PACKAGE_VERSION_MAJOR@ #define SP_PACKAGE_VERSION_MINOR @SP_PACKAGE_VERSION_MINOR@ #define SP_PACKAGE_VERSION_STRING "@SP_PACKAGE_VERSION@" /* Library/libtool version macros (e.g. for conditional compilation). */ #define SP_LIB_VERSION_CURRENT @SP_LIB_VERSION_CURRENT@ #define SP_LIB_VERSION_REVISION @SP_LIB_VERSION_REVISION@ #define SP_LIB_VERSION_AGE @SP_LIB_VERSION_AGE@ #define SP_LIB_VERSION_STRING "@SP_LIB_VERSION@" /** Return values. */ enum sp_return { /** Operation completed successfully. */ SP_OK = 0, /** Invalid arguments were passed to the function. */ SP_ERR_ARG = -1, /** A system error occured while executing the operation. */ SP_ERR_FAIL = -2, /** A memory allocation failed while executing the operation. */ SP_ERR_MEM = -3, }; /** Port access modes. */ enum sp_mode { /** Open port for read/write access. */ SP_MODE_RDWR = 1, /** Open port for read access only. */ SP_MODE_RDONLY = 2, /** Open port in non-blocking mode. */ SP_MODE_NONBLOCK = 4, }; /** Parity settings. */ enum sp_parity { /** Special value to indicate setting should be left alone. */ SP_PARITY_INVALID = -1, /** No parity. */ SP_PARITY_NONE = 0, /** Odd parity. */ SP_PARITY_ODD = 1, /** Even parity. */ SP_PARITY_EVEN = 2, }; /** RTS pin behaviour. */ enum sp_rts { /** Special value to indicate setting should be left alone. */ SP_RTS_INVALID = -1, /** RTS off. */ SP_RTS_OFF = 0, /** RTS on. */ SP_RTS_ON = 1, /** RTS used for flow control. */ SP_RTS_FLOW_CONTROL = 2, }; /** CTS pin behaviour. */ enum sp_cts { /** Special value to indicate setting should be left alone. */ SP_CTS_INVALID = -1, /** CTS ignored. */ SP_CTS_IGNORE = 0, /** CTS used for flow control. */ SP_CTS_FLOW_CONTROL = 1, }; /** DTR pin behaviour. */ enum sp_dtr { /** Special value to indicate setting should be left alone. */ SP_DTR_INVALID = -1, /** DTR off. */ SP_DTR_OFF = 0, /** DTR on. */ SP_DTR_ON = 1, /** DTR used for flow control. */ SP_DTR_FLOW_CONTROL = 2, }; /** DSR pin behaviour. */ enum sp_dsr { /** Special value to indicate setting should be left alone. */ SP_DSR_INVALID = -1, /** DSR ignored. */ SP_DSR_IGNORE = 0, /** DSR used for flow control. */ SP_DSR_FLOW_CONTROL = 1, }; /** XON/XOFF flow control behaviour. */ enum sp_xonxoff { /** Special value to indicate setting should be left alone. */ SP_XONXOFF_INVALID = -1, /** XON/XOFF disabled. */ SP_XONXOFF_DISABLED = 0, /** XON/XOFF enabled for input only. */ SP_XONXOFF_IN = 1, /** XON/XOFF enabled for output only. */ SP_XONXOFF_OUT = 2, /** XON/XOFF enabled for input and output. */ SP_XONXOFF_INOUT = 3, }; /** Standard flow control combinations. */ enum sp_flowcontrol { /** No flow control. */ SP_FLOWCONTROL_NONE = 0, /** Software flow control using XON/XOFF characters. */ SP_FLOWCONTROL_XONXOFF = 1, /** Hardware flow control using RTS/CTS signals. */ SP_FLOWCONTROL_RTSCTS = 2, /** Hardware flow control using DTR/DSR signals. */ SP_FLOWCONTROL_DTRDSR = 3, }; /** A serial port. */ struct sp_port { /** Name used to open the port. */ char *name; /** @cond 0 */ /** OS-specific port handle. */ #ifdef _WIN32 HANDLE hdl; #else int fd; #endif /** @endcond */ }; /** Configuration for a serial port. */ struct sp_port_config { /** Baud rate in bits per second. */ int baudrate; /** Number of data bits to use.
