Mike, thanks for your comments. You wrote:
i really dont have an opinion on the utility itself ... never heard of it. i'd wonder though if it'd be a better fit if it were integrated into the setserial package ? (setserial.sf.net)
Well, the fundamental difference is that setserial just does its thing and exits, while ldattach must daemonize holding the serial line open in order for the line discipline to stay loaded.
+static speed_t lookup_speed(const char *s)hrm, is there seriously no other function (either in the libc or util-linux) we could reuse ?
I would have thought there was, but couldn't find anything. Pointers gladly accepted. This may become moot though if I can convert the program to arbitrary bit rates, see the following comment.
+ case 's': + if ((speed = lookup_speed(optarg)) == B0) { + fprintf(stderr, "%s: bad speed: %s\n", prog, optarg); + exit(EXIT_FAILURE); + }hmm, this doesnt seem right ... this does not allow for arbitrary baud rates which newer versions of linux now supports.
I must have missed that. Do you have a pointer? Is there a replacement for cfsetspeed() which accepts a numeric speed value instead of the Bx constants?
