How to obtain a list of attached serial devices?
« on: April 06, 2010, 07:25:58 pm »
Hello,

How do I programmatically determine what serial devices are currently attached to a linux system?

Thanks.

Have a look at this example in D - called ports() - it tests each potential serial port in turn to see if it is valid.

I was leaning toward having to check every port...

That link will do nicely.
Thanks for that.  :D
