Alejandro, in case you are interested I wrote also longer version which
can be compiled also with header files without BOTHER support.
I found out that because glibc does not support setting BOTHER speeds,
it also is not able to read current speed (via cfgetospeed()) if serial
port is configured to BOTHER state. And because lot of applications,
including GNU stty, use glibc's cfgetospeed() they are not able to parse
tty serial ports when BOTHER is set.
So due current glibc version, it is preferred to use Bnnn constants and
use BOTHER with c_ospeed only in case when there is no corresponding
Bnnn constant.
In this longer version, this preference is implemented.
But because this longer version is _longer_ I do not know if it is a
good idea to have it in manpage, even it is more preferred for
interoperability with existing applications.
Greg, if you have time, I would like to ask for reviewing new version
of manpage patch (or longer version). Or if you have an idea what is
better example in manpage (short or that longer version).
Longer version is below as MIME inline part of email.
