These structures are always allocated and freed by the library, using * the functions in the @ref Enumeration "Enumeration" section. * * All functions can return only four possible error values: * * - @ref SP_ERR_ARG means that a function was called with invalid * arguments. This implies a bug in the caller. The arguments passed would * be invalid regardless of the underlying OS or serial device involved. * * - @ref SP_ERR_FAIL means that the OS reported a failure. The error code or * message provided by the OS can be obtained by calling sp_last_error_code() * or sp_last_error_message(). * * - @ref SP_ERR_SUPP indicates that there is no support for the requested * operation in the current OS, driver or device. No error message is * available from the OS in this case. There is either no way to request * the operation in the first place, or libserialport does not know how to * do so in the current version. * * - @ref SP_ERR_MEM indicates that a memory allocation failed. * * All of these error values are negative. * * Function calls that succeed return @ref SP_OK, which is equal to zero, * or where otherwise documented a positive value. */ #ifndef LIBSERIALPORT_LIBSERIALPORT_H #define LIBSERIALPORT_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_MICRO @SP_PACKAGE_VERSION_MICRO@ #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, /** The requested operation is not supported by this system or device. */ SP_ERR_SUPP = -4, }; /** Port access modes. */ enum sp_mode { /** Open port for read access. */ SP_MODE_READ = 1, /** Open port for write access. */ SP_MODE_WRITE = 2, /** Open port in non-blocking mode. */ SP_MODE_NONBLOCK = 4, }; /** Buffer selection. */ enum sp_buffer { /** Input buffer. */ SP_BUF_INPUT = 1, /** Output buffer. */ SP_BUF_OUTPUT = 2, /** Both buffers. */ SP_BUF_BOTH = 3, }; /** 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, }; /** Input signals. */ enum sp_signal { /** Clear to send. */ SP_SIG_CTS = 1, /** Data set ready. */ SP_SIG_DSR = 2, /** Data carrier detect. */ SP_SIG_DCD = 4, /** Ring indicator. */ SP_SIG_RI = 8, }; /** A serial port. */ struct sp_port; /** Configuration for a serial port. */ struct sp_port_config { /** Baud rate in bits per second. */ int baudrate; /** Number of data bits to use.
