UNIX Platform
To find serial port information for UNIX platforms, you need to know the serial
port names. These names may vary between different operating systems.
On Linux, serial port devices are typically named
ttyS0, ttyS1, and so on. You
can use the
setserial command to display or configure serial port information.
For example, to display which ports are available
setserial -bg /dev/ttyS*
/dev/ttyS0 at 0x03f8 (irq = 4) is a 16550A
/dev/ttyS1 at 0x02f8 (irq = 3) is a 16550A
To display detailed information about ttyS0
setserial -ag /dev/ttyS0
