[ale] Socket Programming

[Chris Fowler]

Vernard,


You know much about Win32 programming?


I need to sucessfully run this piece of UNIX OK code in winbloze
/* terminal.c
 *
 *  Small program to allow running of an excutable 
 *
 *  Arguments:
 *              argv[1]: PORT to be input and output
 *              argv[2]: Console application to execute on the serial port defined
 *
 */
   
#include <fcntl.h>
#include <stdio.h>


int
main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
                int fd;


                /* check arguments */
                if(argc != 3)
                {
                        printf("terminal [serial port] [command shell to execute]\n");
                        exit(1);
                }


                
                /* Open Serial Port */
                if((fd = open(argv[1], O_RDWR)) == -1)
                {
                        perror("terminal: OPEN COM");
                        exit(1);
                }


                
                /* Set STDIN, STDOUT, STDERR to the serial port */
                dup2(fd, 0);
                dup2(fd, 1);
                dup2(fd, 2);


                /* Execute the command specified */
                execl(argv[2],argv[2], 0);
                
                /* If we are here, there is an issue! */
                perror("terminal");


                return 1;
}


What happens:


cmd.exe comes across COM1.  But, on terminal, I can not type anything and it
appears that cmd.exe has terminated.  Sorry for the windows post.


Any help would be appreciated.


Thanks,
Chris

By far the most in-depth book for doing any unix network programming is the
Stevens book. A must have book in my library.
