Welcome to CppSerial’s documentation!

CppSerial is a C++ library for serial communication on Linux systems. It provides a simple and intuitive interface for opening, configuring, and communicating through serial ports.

The goal of this API is to provide developers with a modern C++ interface to the traditional C header asm/termbits.h. It allows setting any baud rate supported by the hardware, not just the standard ones, enabling a more flexible communication process that is ideal for industrial or embedded applications requiring non-standard baud rates. It uses Object-Oriented Programming concepts, smart pointers, lambda functions, and more to give your applications greater flexibility and power when dealing with serial communication in a Linux environment.
