serialport 4.3.0

A cross-platform low-level serial port library.
Documentation
//! This example performs a loopback test using real hardware ports
//!
//! Additionally, some data will be collected and logged during the test to provide some
//! rudimentary benchmarking information. When 'split-port' is specified, the serial port will
//! be split into two channels that read/write "simultaneously" from multiple threads.
//!
//! You can also provide the length (in bytes) of data to test with, and the number of iterations to perform or
//! a list of raw bytes to transmit.
//!
//! To run this example:
//!
//! 1) `cargo run --example loopback /dev/ttyUSB0`
//!
//! 2) `cargo run --example loopback /dev/ttyUSB0 --split-port`
//!
//! 3) `cargo run --example loopback /dev/ttyUSB0 -i 100 -l 32 -b 9600`
//!
//! 4) `cargo run --example loopback /dev/ttyUSB8 --bytes 222,173,190,239`
