Supported devices include PL2303H, PL2303HX and PL2303X. Serial device streams are built with appropriate modules that are pushed atop the \fBusbsprl\fR driver by the \fBautopush\fR(8) facility. .sp .LP The \fBusbsprl\fR module supports the \fBtermio\fR(4I) device control functions specified by flags in the \fBc_cflag\fR word of the termios structure, and by the IGNBRK, IGNPAR, PARMRK and INPCK flags in the \fBc_iflag\fR word of the termios structure. All other \fBtermio\fR(4I) functions must be performed by \fBSTREAMS\fR modules pushed atop the driver. When a device is opened, the \fBldterm\fR(4M) and \fBttcompat\fR(4M) \fBSTREAMS\fR modules are automatically pushed on top of the stream, providing the standard \fBtermio\fR(4I) interface. .sp .LP Use device logical names \fB/dev/term/[0-9]\fR* to access the serial ports. These names are typically used to provide a logical access point for a dial-in line that is used with a modem. .sp .LP A special feature (controlled by the minor device number) is available that enables a single tty line to be connected to a modem and used for incoming and outgoing calls. By accessing through device logical name \fB/dev/cua/[0-9]\fR*, you can open a port without the carrier detect signal being asserted, either through hardware or an equivalent software mechanism. These devices are commonly known as 'dial-out' lines. .SH APPLICATION PROGRAMMING INTERFACE .sp .LP A dial-in line can be opened only if the corresponding dial-out line is closed. A blocking \fB/dev/term\fR open waits until the \fB/dev/cua\fR line is closed (which drops Data Terminal Ready, after which Carrier Detect usually drops as well) and carrier is detected again. A non-blocking \fB/dev/term\fR open returns an error if the \fB/dev/cua\fR is open. .sp .LP If the \fB/dev/term\fR line is opened successfully (usually only when carrier is recognized on the modem), the corresponding \fB/dev/cua\fR line cannot be opened. This allows a modem and port to be used for dial-in (by enabling the line for login in \fB/etc/inittab\fR) or dial-out (by \fBtip\fR(1), or \fBuucp\fR(1C)) when no one is logged in on the line. .sp .LP Device hot-removal is functionally equivalent to a modem disconnect event, as defined in \fBtermio\fR(4I). .SH IOCTLS .sp .LP The \fBusbsprl\fR driver supports the standard set of \fBtermio\fR(4I) ioctl calls. .sp .LP Input and output line speeds can be set to the following baud rates: 75, 150, 300, 600, 1200, 1800, 2400, 4800, 9600, 19200, 38400, 57600, 115200, 230400 or 460800. Input and output line speeds cannot be set independently. For example, when the output speed is set, the input speed is automatically set to the same speed. .SH ERRORS .sp .LP An \fBopen()\fR fails under the following conditions: .sp .ne 2 .na \fB\fBENXIO\fR\fR .ad .RS 9n The unit being opened does not exist. .RE .sp .ne 2 .na \fB\fBEBUSY\fR\fR .ad .RS 9n The \fB/dev/cua\fR (dial-out) device is being opened while the \fB/dev/term\fR (dial-in device) is open, or the dial-in device is being opened with a no-delay open while the dial-out device is open. .RE .sp .ne 2 .na \fB\fBEBUSY\fR\fR .ad .RS 9n The unit has been marked as exclusive-use by another process with a TIOCEXCL ioctl() call. .RE .sp .ne 2 .na \fB\fBEIO\fR\fR .ad .RS 9n USB device I/O error. .RE .SH FILES .sp .ne 2 .na \fB\fB/kernel/drv/usbsprl\fR\fR .ad .sp .6 .RS 4n 32-bit x86 ELF kernel module. .RE .sp .ne 2 .na \fB\fB/kernel/drv/amd64/usbsprl\fR\fR .ad .sp .6 .RS 4n 64-bit x86 ELF kernel module. .RE .sp .ne 2 .na \fB\fB/kernel/drv/sparcv9/usbsprl\fR\fR .ad .sp .6 .RS 4n 64-bit SPARC ELF kernel module. .RE .sp .ne 2 .na \fB\fB/dev/cua/[0-9]*\fR\fR .ad .sp .6 .RS 4n dial-out tty lines. .RE .sp .ne 2 .na \fB\fB/dev/term/[0-9]*\fR\fR .ad .sp .6 .RS 4n dial-in tty lines. .RE .SH ATTRIBUTES .sp .LP See \fBattributes\fR(7) for descriptions of the following attributes: .sp .sp .TS box; c | c l | l .
