Help using termios

Hi all

I'm struggeling to get my serial port settings changed using termios.
I can change the baud rate fine, but none of the control flags respond
to my changes. As an example:

#include <stdio.h>
#Iinclude <termios.h>

int main (void) {
struct termios settings;
FILE* pPort;

if (!(pPort = fopen("/dev/ttyUSB0","r+")) ) {
printf("Oops0\n ");
return 1;
}

if (tcgetattr(file no(pPort), &settings) != 0) printf("Oops1\n ");
cfsetispeed(&se ttings, B9600);
cfsetospeed(&se ttings, B9600);
settings.c_ifla g |= CSTOPB;
if (tcsetattr(file no(pPort), TCSANOW, &settings) != 0)
printf("Oops2\n ");

fclose(pPort);
}

This will change the current baud rate to the selected 9600, but the
will not set two stop bits as I think it should. What am I doing wrong
here?

Any help would be sincerely appreciated.

Termios is not part of the C standard, it's SUS2.

You will find more useful answers in comp.unix.progr ammer.

settings.c_ifla g |= CSTOPB;
You mean settings.c_cfla g (control settings, not input).

Hi, All: I am a newbie in Python. I am trying to use pexpect package in the project. But when I installed the package, it couldn't be used as termios.py was missing. I checked the LIB directory. It had TERMIOS.py but no termios.py. Could any body explain to me where can I found this file and solve this problem? Thanks in advance. Henry
