[][src]Crate serialport

serialport-rs is a cross-platform serial port library.

The goal of this library is to expose a cross-platform and platform-specific API for enumerating and using blocking I/O with serial ports. This library exposes a similar API to that provided by Qt's QSerialPort library.

Feature Overview

The library has been organized such that there is a high-level SerialPort trait that provides a cross-platform API for accessing serial ports. This is the preferred method of interacting with ports and as such is part of the prelude. The open*() and available_ports() functions in the root provide cross-platform functionality.

For platform-specific functionaly, this crate is split into a posix and windows API with corresponding TTYPort and COMPort structs (that both implement the SerialPort trait). Using the platform-specific open*() functions will return the platform-specific port object which allows access to platform-specific functionality.
