It's system dependent. See question 19.7 of the comp.lang.c FAQ:

Hi,
there are many functions (APIs) that help you in this using windows. In old days you had to make a system call.

Dear cdbular,
For making RS-232 communication using C/C++ I suggest you the book "C Programmer`s Guide To Serial Communication" By CAMPBELL. This is a ultimate book I think. You will find lot of info. for serial communication. Also lot of code written in C/C++.

Regards.

This is a simple code. If u have a serial cable and you connect the Pin No. 2 and 3 together.... which are actually trans and receive.... than u can run this and check.

It sends a number or character(1 byte only) and receives it and displays it.
have fun...
