:So Unix machines - which is what a Mac essentially is - have their serial ports implemented in a different way, from what you might be used to with a Windows PC. When a serial device is connected to the Mac, and the kernel is able to map a valid kernel driver to it, a POSIX device file is created under /dev/ for that serial port. After that, programs can read and write to this file, which becomes the same thing as reading and writing from a serial port. Windows uses a similar concept with COM (serial) ports, just implemented slightly differently. |
