Subject: DCD on serial ports, was: ioctl() function
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Hello,

I know it´s an old mail, but I have the very same problem. I need a
function call which allows to detect if DCD on a serial port is active.
Linux offers the TIOCMGET and TIOCM_CAR extention to ioctl(). Anyone
with a solution?
