ioctl serial port and SIOCGSTAMP

[lhommedumatch]

Hi,
Does the ioctl(fd,SIOCGS TAMP,&time_val) function work for serial port?
(fd = open("/dev/ttyS1",O_RDWR))

Regards,

[santosh]

Well, that is an interesting hypothesis, but I don't think it is
supportable with very much in the way of facts and statistics.

Yes. His hypothesis better fits Antoninus Twink, IMO.

That's pretty recent, Walter! :-) (I hail from 1999, and I'm still
reckoned a newbie in some quarters of clc.)

(And yes, I agree with you that Jack may have overcooked his response a
little.)

I can't imagine so! The clue is in the question: SIOCGSTAMP is a
*socket IO control* request, giving you access to timestamp information
for a packet. What would it even mean for a serial device?

Ok, sorry for that and sorry to disturd comp.lang.c.

Um, whoosh!

Even *I* could tell that Jack was referring to AT.
His reference to you was indeed pretty elliptical, but it was clear you
weren't the one being slimed.

Actually, now that I think about it, I think the point is that the
antecedent of the word "his" (highlighted above) is AT, not WR.

E.g., Johnny did so and so. I won't insult Susie by mentioning his
(meaning Johnny's) last name.
