Handling Devices with GIO

Hi.

Is it possible to handle the serial/parallel/tty/etc device files with GIO?


I am writing a code for a Project in my Uni which only needs to chat
with another computer through the Serial Port.

In my Uni linux is not very popular, instead they ask for programs for
DOS. Thats why i want to make something useful and make it under
linux.

The program have to wait for keypresses or serial port input. When a
keypress ocurs it haves to send the data through the configurable
serial interface, and when data is incomming, it haves to just print
it out. This should look like a chat and should be testable with a
null modem.

After tons of hours reading lots of howtos, i have a code working in C
with the kernel rutines and polling with "select" on /dev/tty and
/dev/ttyS0.
It gets in a very intricated code for a very simple task, so i wonder
if GIO can handle such tasks.

Cheers.
Diego
