Hello Corinna,
I have problems with read() function blocking and
waiting for characters on serial line with cygwin:

Here are some code fragments:
========================================================
fd = open(sl, O_RDWR | O_NOCTTY | O_NONBLOCK | O_NDELAY)

newpio.c_cflag = brate | CS8 | CLOCAL | CREAD;
newpio.c_iflag = IGNPAR | ICRNL;
newpio.c_oflag = 0;
newpio.c_lflag = 0;
newpio.c_cc[VTIME]    = 1;
newpio.c_cc[VMIN]     = 0;
...

n = ioctl(fd, TIOCINQ, &n); //It gives me an error (return -1) why??!!!

and

n = read(fd, buffer, 1);  <<< HERE IS BLOCKING!!!
========================================================

TIOCINQ is working on CYGWIN,

Is there another way to solve this problem???

Thank you in advance,
  Ernesto.
