I have read the docs, but it doesnt make clear how can i use it with /dev/* devices. I supouse that GSeekable can be used with /dev/port but this part is better to do with normal rutines like ioperm, outb, inb, etc. And GUnixInputStream or GDataInputStream to handle inputs from /dev/ttyS0, but again, it doesnt makes easy configuring the device like BaudRate, parity, etc. (if it does) and i think that i have to create 2 file descriptors, one for Input and one for Output. Also i never know how many characters will i get or when from the serial port, so a concept of interrupts is necessary to not make my device be polling too much. Thats why i use select with /dev/ttyS0 and /dev/tty. With GInputStream i have g_input_stream_read_async which gets N specified bytes asyncronously, and what i would better need is g_input_stream_read_LINE_async. I cant find if _read_async can call any other callback function like a GCallable each time that it gets a new character and then i can cancel after getting a '\n' character. Also cancelling means not calling the callback? or stopping the _async operation without calling anything? I cant find on google any code related too google and devices. Does somebody worked on it?
