First of all, thank you for your time.
It's not possible to list devices or get OS-specific data, but you can use the OS-API for that. native() will return the native type.
So i need to write specific code for each platform, right? What is the type i get from that "native()" call in windows and in mac (the two target platforms).? So i can search for the docs for each and then do some... #ifdef PC, etc. And on what should i call such "native()" method? Can i assume the os-specifics "native type" for PC/WINDOWS ie(winxp, 2000, vista, 7, etc) to be the same or is that also a concern? Are there any known libraries that wrap around this stuff to avoid getting into this stuff? Thank you again, Ale
How can i do that?
Can this same approach be used later for say... bluetooth serial devices? How?
The devices are usually handled similar, thus they are presented as "COM1" or "/dev/tty...". If the OS can load appropriate drivers, the API will gain access automatically. This abstraction also means, that you don't get access to the device itself, only to the serial connection.
Thank you all in advance.
Alejandro
