These can be searched in the /dev directory to get user-friendly names: # ll -R /dev |grep "188, *0"Ĭrw-rw- 1 root dialout 188, 0 20:44 ttyUSB0 Here the dev file contains this information: # cat /sys/class/tty/ttyUSB0/dev Lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 20:43 subsystem ->. Lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 20:43 device ->. Lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 20:44 /sys/class/tty/ttyUSB1 ->. Lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 20:43 /sys/class/tty/ttyUSB0 ->. A trimmed down example: # ll /sys/class/tty/ttyUSB* Which gives you descriptions of all TTY devices known to the system. My system (2.6.32-40-generic #87-Ubuntu) suggests: /sys/class/tty The /sys filesystem should contain plenty information for your quest. I wonder if there's also a way to invoke ioctl functions without an open, or open a device in a way that it does not cause connections to be made? And I can imagine that similar things can happen on Linux as well - ideally, I should not need to open the device to figure out its type. This is caused by just opening the device.

However, serial devices that are provided through Bluetooth cause the system (driver) to try to connect to the Bluetooth device, which takes a while before it'll return with a timeout error. When I tested this code on BSD Unix (that is, Mac OS X), it worked as well. There is one problem with this approach, though: I found similar code in Serial Programming/termios, which suggested to also add the O_NOCTTY option.
If that call returns no error, then it's a serial device, apparently. Then it invokes: ioctl (fd, TIOCGSERIAL, &serinfo) Its code does exactly what I had in mind:įirst, it opens a device with: fd = open (path, O_RDWR | O_NONBLOCK) Hrickards suggested to look at the source for "setserial".

Would that be a good solution, though? Update I imagine one way would be to open all files from /dev/tty* and call a specific ioctl() on them that is only available on serial devices. The problem is that none appears to be documented, or I can't find it.
So I need to find the official way to detect serial devices. And reading the Serial-HOWTO at, I get the idea that there'll be other name spaces as well, as time comes. The problem is that there are, for instance, serial ports over USB (provided by USB-RS232 adapters), and those are listed under /dev/ttyUSB*. I ask because I am using a third-party library that does this clearly wrong: It appears to only iterate over /dev/ttyS*. In other words, when I iterate over all devices in /dev/, how do I tell which ones are serial ports in the classic way, that is, those usually supporting baud rates and RTS/CTS flow control? 11 */ 12 13 #include ģ4 /* 35 * #defines 36 */ 37 38 #define VERSION_STRING "0.What is the proper way to get a list of all available serial ports/devices on a Linux system?
