Due to the ruby-serialport project provided by RubyForge.org apparently
being unmaintained, this is a MSF-specific fork of that project. This
version has been modified by both MSF developers as well as by applying
a patch found submitted to the RubyForge project but never included in
the distribution provided there. The versioning scheme has been updated
from the format X.y, to X.Y.z-msf. The text accompanying the applied
patch can be found below.

Please see the README.orig file for the original project's README, which
includes buid and install instructions as well as documentation of the
SerialPort Class API.

========================================================================
[#878] Six new methods (implemented for the posix flavor only) for the
SerialPort class

I had to use the SerialPort class to communicate chunks of binary data
through the serial port, and i needed to set some of the low-level
flags onto the serial fd using fcntl() and tcsetattr(), so I implemented
some nifty methods and added them to the class.

The six new methods are:

.nonblock= and .nonblock() -> Manipulate the O_NONBLOCK descriptor flag
.input_type= and .input_type() -> Manipulate the ICANON/RAW input flags
.output_type= and .output_type() -> Manipulate the OPOST/RAW output flags

Also two new constants were added:

SerialPort::PROCESSED -> Identifies the CANONICAL/PROCESSED I/O
SerialPort::RAW -> Identifies the RAW/RAW I/O

Example usage:

def open_port
ret = SerialPort.new @device

ret.baud = @port_baud
ret.data_bits = @port_data_bits
ret.stop_bits = @port_stop_bits
ret.parity = SerialPort::NONE
ret.flow_control = SerialPort::HARD
ret.input_type = SerialPort::RAW
ret.output_type = SerialPort::RAW
ret.read_timeout = -1
ret.nonblock = false
ret.dtr = 1

ret
end

This was the best setup for modem communications I could achieve, for
binary and string I/O, in a multithreaded application. Obviously YMMV.
