I am trying to set the ioctl call so that a raw read from a
serial port will time out after a few seconds. No matter what I
set the TIME value for in the control structure, the machine
still hangs waiting for characters. What am I doing wrong, if anything.
Code follows:
---
new_settings.c_iflag = IGNBRK | IGNPAR;
new_settings.c_oflag = NULL;
new_settings.c_cflag = B9600 | CS8 | CREAD | CLOCAL;
new_settings.c_lflag = ICANON;
new_settings.c_line = NULL;
new_settings.c_cc[0] = NULL;
new_settings.c_cc[1] = NULL;
new_settings.c_cc[2] = NULL;
new_settings.c_cc[3] = NULL;
new_settings.c_cc[4] = NULL;
new_settings.c_cc[5] = TIMEOUT;
ioctl(fd, TCSETA, &new_settings);
-----
A read that has timed out should return with a value of 0. Right ?
