Exception error thrown when the serial port could not be opened.
SerialStream is a stream class for accessing serial ports on POSIX operating systems....
void DrainWriteBuffer()
Waits until the write buffer is drained and then returns.
void SetCharacterSize(const CharacterSize &characterSize)
Sets the character size for the serial port.
void SetBaudRate(const BaudRate &baudRate)
Sets the baud rate for the serial port to the specified value.
void Close()
Closes the serial port. All settings of the serial port will be lost and no more I/O can be performed...
void SetFlowControl(const FlowControl &flowControlType)
Sets flow control for the serial port.
void SetStopBits(const StopBits &stopBits)
Sets the number of stop bits to be used with the serial port.
void Open(const std::string &fileName, const std::ios_base::openmode &openMode=std::ios_base::in|std::ios_base::out)
Opens the serial port associated with the specified file name and the specified mode.
void SetParity(const Parity &parityType)
Sets the parity type for the serial port.
