Re: Serial port programming C++ - detect serial ports on linux

How can I detect the serial ports on linux system? On w32 there is a
registry setting for that. Is there something similar on linux? Or do I
have to poll all possible devices and see which answers?

Possibly something like:

lars@ibmr52:~$ dmesg | grep ttyS
[17179571.444000] 00:08: ttyS0 at I/O 0x3f8 (irq = 4) is a NS16550A
