Hi,

After a bit of experimentation with tty device, I have a few questions that 
may be one of you could answer:

1) Is it possible to do non blocking tty i/o?
Even if I open the tty device with O_NOWAIT option, the read operation is 
still blocking. ie read(tty, pBuff, 1) returns only after at least one 
character has been sent to the yaroze. In my point of view, this is a key 
point for multiplayer game implementation as you need to test for incoming 
bytes without blocking the program execution.

2) what is the O_NOBUFF option of open?

3) Is ioctl documented somewhere (or source code example available). How to 
change baud rate, settings etc..

sceetech maybe?

Sorry for my english
Jean-Luc
