Description
Serial-port software can talk to devices without rewriting operating-system-specific connection code.
This library is mainly useful for developers and tools such as sigrok that need reliable access to USB serial adapters, embedded boards, measurement devices, modems, and other hardware exposed through serial ports. It does not add a separate app; it is installed so other programs can open, configure, read from, and write to serial connections in a portable way.
Use it when a program depends on libserialport or when you are building software that must handle serial communication on Linux and other systems.
