Detailed Description

       Note:
           This class attaches a handler to the SIGIO signal to detect the data arriving at a
           serial port. However, this signal handler will also call any signal handler that is
           already attached to this signal. However, if other parts of the application attach a
           signal handler to SIGIO after constructing an instance of SIGIO, they must ensure that
           they call the existing signal handler. Otherwise, it may not be possible to receive
           any data through the serial port using this class.

       :FIXME: Provide examples of the above potential problem.

       Todo
           The current implementation does not check if another process has locked the serial
           port device and does not lock the serial port device after opening it. This has been
           observed to cause problems while using this library while other programs such as
           minicom are also accessing the same device. It will be useful to lock the serial port
           device when it is being used by this class.

Member Typedef Documentation

   typedef std::vector<unsigned char> SerialPort::DataBuffer
       Read the specified number of bytes from the serial port. The method will timeout if no
       data is received in the specified number of milliseconds (msTimeout). If msTimeout is 0,
       then this method will block till all requested bytes are received. If numOfBytes is zero,
       then this method will keep reading data till no more data is available at the serial port.
       In all cases, all read data is available in dataBuffer on return from this method.

       Get the current baud rate for the serial port.
