- class SerialPort : Device ¶
-
Enables applications to use a serial port (aka COM-port, ttyS).
Usage is similar to that of File:
1
2
3
4
|
auto serCond = new SerialPort("ttyS0");
serCond.speed = 38400;
serCond.write("Hello world!");
serCond.close();
|
- this(const(char)[] port) ¶
-
Create a new SerialPort instance. The port will be opened and
set to raw mode with 9600-8N1.
| port | A string identifying the port. On Posix, this must be a
device file like /dev/ttyS0. If the input doesn't begin
with "/", "/dev/" is automatically prepended, so "ttyS0"
is sufficent. On Windows, this must be a device name like
COM1. |
- string toString() [override] ¶
-
Returns a string describing this serial port.
For example: "ttyS0", "COM1", "cuad0".
- SerialPort speed(uint speed) ¶
-
Sets the baud rate of this port. Usually, the baud rate can
only be set to fixed values (common values are 1200 * 2^n).
Note that for Posix, the specification only mandates speeds up
to 38400, excluding speeds such as 7200, 14400 and 28800.
Most Posix systems have chosen to support at least higher speeds
though.
maxSpeed
IOException if speed is unsupported.
- const(char)[][] ports() [static] ¶
-
Tries to enumerate all serial ports. While this usually works on
Windows, it's more problematic on other OS. Posix provides no way
to list serial ports, and the only option is searching through
"/dev".
Because there's no naming standard for the device files, this method
must be ported for each OS. This method is also unreliable because
the user could have created invalid device files, or deleted them.
A string array of all the serial ports that could be found, in
alphabetical order. Every string is formatted as a valid argument
to the constructor, but the port may not be accessible.
