23 * @mainpage libserialport API
25 * Introduction
26 * ============
28 * libserialport is a minimal library written in C that is intended to take
29 * care of the OS-specific details when writing software that uses serial ports.
31 * By writing your serial code to use libserialport, you enable it to work
32 * transparently on any platform supported by the library.
34 * libserialport is an open source project released under the LGPL3+ license.
36 * The library is maintained by the [sigrok](http://sigrok.org/) project. See
37 * the [libserialport homepage](http://sigrok.org/wiki/Libserialport) for the
38 * latest information.
40 * Source code is maintained in git at
41 * [git://sigrok.org/libserialport](http://sigrok.org/gitweb/?p=libserialport.git).
43 * Bugs are tracked at http://sigrok.org/bugzilla/.
45 * The library was conceived and designed by Martin Ling, is maintained by
46 * Uwe Hermann, and has received contributions from several other developers.
47 * See the git history for full credits.
49 * API information
50 * ===============
52 * The API has been designed from scratch. It does not exactly resemble the
53 * serial API of any particular operating system. Instead it aims to provide
54 * a set of functions that can reliably be implemented across all operating
55 * systems. These form a sufficient basis for higher level behaviour to
56 * be implemented in a platform independent manner.
58 * If you are porting code written for a particular OS, you may find you need
59 * to restructure things somewhat, or do without some specialised features.
60 * For particular notes on porting existing code, see @ref Porting.
62 * Examples
63 * --------
65 * Some simple example programs using libserialport are included in the
66 * @c examples directory in the source package:
68 * - @ref list_ports.c - Getting a list of ports present on the system.
69 * - @ref port_info.c - Getting information on a particular serial port.
71 * These examples are linked with the API documentation. Each function
72 * in the API reference includes links to where it is used in an example
73 * program, and each appearance of a function in the examples links
74 * to that function's entry in the API reference.
76 * Headers
77 * -------
79 * To use libserialport functions in your code, you should include the
80 * libserialport.h header, i.e.
81 * @code
82 * #include <libserialport.h>
83 * @endcode
85 * Namespace
86 * ---------
88 * All identifiers defined by the public libserialport headers use the prefix
89 * @c sp_ (for functions and data types) or @c SP_ (for macros and constants).
91 * Functions
92 * ---------
94 * The functions provided by the library are documented in detail in
95 * the following sections:
97 * - @ref Enumeration (obtaining a list of serial ports on the system)
98 * - @ref Ports (opening, closing and getting information about ports)
99 * - @ref Configuration (baud rate, parity, etc.)
100 * - @ref Signals (modem control lines, breaks, etc.)
101 * - @ref Data (reading and writing data, and buffer management)
102 * - @ref Waiting (waiting for ports to be ready, integrating with event loops)
103 * - @ref Errors (getting error and debugging information)
105 * Data structures
106 * ---------------
108 * The library defines three data structures:
110 * - @ref sp_port, which represents a serial port.
111 * See @ref Enumeration.
112 * - @ref sp_port_config, which represents a port configuration.
113 * See @ref Configuration.
114 * - @ref sp_event_set, which represents a set of events.
115 * See @ref Waiting.
117 * All these structures are allocated and freed by library functions. It is
118 * the caller's responsibility to ensure that the correct calls are made to
119 * free allocated structures after use.
121 * Return codes and error handling
122 * -------------------------------
124 * Most functions have return type @ref sp_return and can return only four
125 * possible error values:
127 * - @ref SP_ERR_ARG means that a function was called with invalid
128 * arguments. This implies a bug in the caller. The arguments passed would
129 * be invalid regardless of the underlying OS or serial device involved.
131 * - @ref SP_ERR_FAIL means that the OS reported a failure. The error code or
132 * message provided by the OS can be obtained by calling sp_last_error_code()
133 * or sp_last_error_message().
135 * - @ref SP_ERR_SUPP indicates that there is no support for the requested
136 * operation in the current OS, driver or device. No error message is
137 * available from the OS in this case. There is either no way to request
138 * the operation in the first place, or libserialport does not know how to
139 * do so in the current version.
141 * - @ref SP_ERR_MEM indicates that a memory allocation failed.
143 * All of these error values are negative.
145 * Calls that succeed return @ref SP_OK, which is equal to zero. Some functions
146 * declared @ref sp_return can also return a positive value for a successful
147 * numeric result, e.g. sp_blocking_read() or sp_blocking_write().
149 * An error message is only available via sp_last_error_message() in the case
150 * where @ref SP_ERR_FAIL was returned by the previous function call. The error
151 * message returned is that provided by the OS, using the current language
152 * settings. It is an error to call sp_last_error_code() or
153 * sp_last_error_message() except after a previous function call returned
154 * @ref SP_ERR_FAIL. The library does not define its own error codes or
155 * messages to accompany other return codes.
157 * Thread safety
158 * -------------
160 * Certain combinations of calls can be made concurrently, as follows.
162 * - Calls using different ports may always be made concurrently, i.e.
163 * it is safe for separate threads to handle their own ports.
165 * - Calls using the same port may be made concurrently when one call
166 * is a read operation and one call is a write operation, i.e. it is safe
167 * to use separate "reader" and "writer" threads for the same port. See
168 * below for which operations meet these definitions.
170 * Read operations:
172 * - sp_blocking_read()
173 * - sp_blocking_read_next()
174 * - sp_nonblocking_read()
175 * - sp_input_waiting()
176 * - sp_flush() with @ref SP_BUF_INPUT only.
177 * - sp_wait() with @ref SP_EVENT_RX_READY only.
179 * Write operations:
181 * - sp_blocking_write()
182 * - sp_nonblocking_write()
183 * - sp_output_waiting()
184 * - sp_drain()
185 * - sp_flush() with @ref SP_BUF_OUTPUT only.
186 * - sp_wait() with @ref SP_EVENT_TX_READY only.
188 * If two calls, on the same port, do not fit into one of these categories
189 * each, then they may not be made concurrently.
191 * Debugging
192 * ---------
194 * The library can output extensive tracing and debugging information. The
195 * simplest way to use this is to set the environment variable
196 * @c LIBSERIALPORT_DEBUG to any value; messages will then be output to the
197 * standard error stream.
199 * This behaviour is implemented by a default debug message handling
200 * callback. An alternative callback can be set using sp_set_debug_handler(),
201 * in order to e.g. redirect the output elsewhere or filter it.
203 * No guarantees are made about the content of the debug output; it is chosen
204 * to suit the needs of the developers and may change between releases.
206 * @anchor Porting
207 * Porting
208 * -------
210 * The following guidelines may help when porting existing OS-specific code
211 * to use libserialport.
213 * ### Porting from Unix-like systems ###
215 * There are two main differences to note when porting code written for Unix.
217 * The first is that Unix traditionally provides a wide range of functionality
218 * for dealing with serial devices at the OS level; this is exposed through the
219 * termios API and dates to the days when serial terminals were common. If your
220 * code relies on many of these facilities you will need to adapt it, because
221 * libserialport provides only a raw binary channel with no special handling.
223 * The second relates to blocking versus non-blocking I/O behaviour. In
224 * Unix-like systems this is normally specified by setting the @c O_NONBLOCK
225 * flag on the file descriptor, affecting the semantics of subsequent @c read()
226 * and @c write() calls.
228 * In libserialport, blocking and nonblocking operations are both available at
229 * any time. If your existing code Ń•ets @c O_NONBLOCK, you should use
230 * sp_nonblocking_read() and sp_nonblocking_write() to get the same behaviour
231 * as your existing @c read() and @c write() calls. If it does not, you should
232 * use sp_blocking_read() and sp_blocking_write() instead. You may also find
233 * sp_blocking_read_next() useful, which reproduces the semantics of a blocking
234 * read() with @c VTIME=0 and @c VMIN=1 set in termios.
236 * Finally, you should take care if your program uses custom signal handlers.
237 * The blocking calls provided by libserialport will restart system calls that
238 * return with @c EINTR, so you will need to make your own arrangements if you
239 * need to interrupt blocking operations when your signal handlers are called.
240 * This is not an issue if you only use the default handlers.
242 * ### Porting from Windows ###
244 * The main consideration when porting from Windows is that there is no
245 * direct equivalent for overlapped I/O operations.
247 * If your program does not use overlapped I/O, you can simply use
248 * sp_blocking_read() and sp_blocking_write() as direct equivalents for
249 * @c ReadFile() and @c WriteFile(). You may also find sp_blocking_read_next()
250 * useful, which reproduces the special semantics of @c ReadFile() with
251 * @c ReadIntervalTimeout and @c ReadTotalTimeoutMultiplier set to @c MAXDWORD
252 * and @c ReadTotalTimeoutConstant set to between @c 1 and @c MAXDWORD-1 .
254 * If your program makes use of overlapped I/O to continue work while a serial
255 * operation is in progress, then you can achieve the same results using
256 * sp_nonblocking_read() and sp_nonblocking_write().
258 * Generally, overlapped I/O is combined with either waiting for completion
259 * once there is no more background work to do (using @c WaitForSingleObject()
260 * or @c WaitForMultipleObjects()), or periodically checking for completion
261 * with @c GetOverlappedResult(). If the aim is to start a new operation for
262 * further data once the previous one has completed, you can instead simply
263 * call the nonblocking functions again with the next data. If you need to
264 * wait for completion, use sp_wait() to determine when the port is ready to
265 * send or receive further data.
