No problem, this is the correct one, there's no specific one for
libserialport.

Here's a quick example to get you started, it'll list all ports it can
detect. Tested on Linux, but libserialport also works fine on Windows.
You need MinGW-w64 (the "old" MinGW will not work).
#include <stdio.h>
#include <libserialport.h>
int main(void)
{
int i;
struct sp_port **ports;
sp_list_ports(&ports);
for (i = 0; ports[i]; i++)
printf("Found port: '%s'.\n",
sp_get_port_name(ports[i]));
sp_free_port_list(ports);
}
Hope that helps, Uwe.
