    Question connecting to a serial device?

    urgend help needed here.

    I must programm an application that connects to a serial device (on openbsd this is /dev/utty0) the device itself will offer a vt100 compatible terminal.

    how can I open the device and read/write to it.

    currently I just open() it and try to read() characters but that does not work...


    any hints or ideas?

    thanks in advance!

    regards

    Post what you tried to do
    If you dance barefoot on the broken glass of undefined behaviour, you've got to expect the occasional cut.
    If at first you don't succeed, try writing your phone number on the exam paper.
