Instead of searching through /proc and /sys you should use hal:
* To see everything, simply run 'lshal'
* To find UDI's of all serial devices, run:
hal-find-by-capability --capability serial
* To get a specific property (e.g: the device file name):
hal-get-property --udi <udi_string> --key linux.device_file
From a program, just use the HAL API's.
HAL is being deprecated (by DeviceKit/udev), but is still there
for a while (at least with respect to legacy hardware like serial
ports).
