Ioctl Fionread Serial Premium Version

Hello, i wrote a unit to communicate with a serial port (Virtual over USB) I can read, write, set the baudrate. Works all fine. But i need the.
This code worked a few days ago but now it isn't anymore. Fickle program behavior usually indicates improper or incomplete initialization. Your termios initialization only configures the baudrate and character framing, and everything else is left to chance. Your revised code still has not properly resolved this issue. The code never initializes the termios structure options by calling the tcgetattr function.
For sample code see my answer to options.clflag = 0; That is not considered the proper way of assigning a termios element. Options.cccVMIN = 1; Non-canonical mode requires definition of both the VMIN and VTIME entries. Your code uses whatever garbage value that exists at the location for VTIME. FIONREAD which doesn't write the correct number to the bytesavailable-var (anymore).
Negative descriptions, i.e. What does not occur, are not as helpful or specific as descriptions of what does occur. So what kind of values are you getting back? Why do you think it is ' wrong'? More importantly, why aren't you checking the return value from each syscall, especially this ioctl that you think is giving you problems? Most likely is that the ioctl failed, did not update your bytesavailable variable, and returned an error code. Instead of first checking for a good return, your code unconditionally uses the returned argument.
Another answer that critiques your code is misleading. Flow control can be disabled. Your code is broken because it doesn't do proper initialization and is not checking for error returns, not because the comm link is 'deadlocked'. In your revised code: bytesread = read(serial, buf, datalength-bytesinmsg); usleep(1000); A sleep or delay before and/or after a blocking read is superfluous. Your code is broken. No protocol can allow both the reader to wait for the writer and the writer to wait for the reader.
If it did, deadlock could result. Your do/while loop refuses to read any data until the writer writes all 10. However, serial ports permit the writer to refuse to write any more data until the reader reads what it has already written. So it cannot also permit a reader to refuse to read any more data until the writer writes more. You cannot use FIONREAD to wait for more bytes to be written because the writer may also be waiting for you. Instead, read the bytes as they become available, thus ensuring you unblock the writer.
Accumulate them in a buffer and break when you have the number you need. @sawdust Huh? That doesn't even make sense. Even if you disable flow control, it will still be the case that serial ports permit the writer to refuse to write any more data until the reader reads what it has already written because disabling flow control doesn't make it cease to exist in the universe. The serial port protocol could either allow writers to wait for readers or allow readers to wait for writers.
It cannot allow both. It chose to allow writers to wait for readers to make flow control possible. Disabling it doesn't change this.

- That's exactly my reaction to your 'answer'. Nothing more than RS-232 seems to be inferred in this question.
Exactly what is this (additional) 'serial port protocol' and/or serial port 'capability' (that 'permit the writer to refuse to write any more data') that you allege to exist in this problem? There is absolutely nothing (other than HW flow control) that a receiving UART can do to inhibit the transmitting UART (in a full-duplex link). That's why there's (cooperative) flow control, rcivr & buffer overrun checks, and/or message protocols. – Sep 1 '16 at 0:15.
The function provides a device input and output control (IOCTL) interface through which an application can communicate directly with a device driver. The DeviceIoControl function is a general-purpose interface that can send control codes to a variety of devices. Each control code represents an operation for the driver to perform. For example, a control code can ask a device driver to return information about the corresponding device, or direct the driver to carry out an action on the device, such as formatting a disk.
Ioctl Windows
A number of standard control codes are defined in the SDK header files. In addition, device drivers can define their own device-specific control codes. For a list of standard control codes included in the SDK documentation, see the Remarks section of.
Ioctl Fionbio
The types of control codes you can specify depend on the device being accessed and the platform on which your application is running. Applications can use the standard control codes or device-specific control codes to perform direct input and output operations on a floppy disk drive, hard disk drive, tape drive, or CD-ROM drive.
