/*
 * Simple_Serial.c
 *
 * This is an example of using the serial device.  First, we will attempt
 * to create a message port with CreateMsgPort().  Next, we will attempt
 * to create the IORequest with CreateExtIO().  Then, we will attempt to
 * open the serial device with OpenDevice().  If successful, we will write
 * a NULL-terminated string to it and reverse our steps.  If we encounter
 * an error at any time, we will gracefully exit.
 *
 * Compile with SAS C 5.10  lc -b1 -cfistq -v -y -L
 *
 * Run from CLI only

/*
   DoIO() vs. SendIO().
   --------------------
   The above example code contains some simplifications.  The DoIO()
   function in the example is not always appropriate for executing the
   CMD_READ or CMD_WRITE commands.  DoIO() will not return until the I/O
   request has finished.  With serial handshaking enabled, a write
   request may never finish.  Read requests will not finish until
   characters arrive at the serial port.  The following sections will
   demonstrate a solution using the SendIO() and AbortIO() functions.
