I would like to know > your approach for this. Thank you in advance for your help. First, open() the device. Then configure the line settings with e.g.: struct termios t; tcgetattr(fd, &t); t.c_lflag &= ~ICANON; tcsetattr(fd, TCSANOW, &t); The ICANON flag controls the use of "canonical mode" (line buffering, processing of control codes, etc). For a device other than a terminal, you would normally disable this flag. Exactly how the line is configured depends upon the device; see the termios(3) manpage for a list of settings. Finally, just read() data. -- Glynn Clements <glynn@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-c-programming" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
