I am writing a routine that steps through all the available serial ports on a Mac. If the port is available (i.e. not in use by something else), I am sending a character, waiting for a response. If it times out or is not the correct response, I move on to the next port.

My question is this: Does the serial control have to be opened for each iteration of the check? Or does the control only have to be opened once, despite stepping and checking each port number?
