I am using Linux and writing C program, and I want to know how to output from com port with the string, say "atdt123456".

I am using this program, but it doesn't work

#include <stdio.h>
#include <sys/ioctl.h>
#include <sys/stat.h>
#include <fcntl.h>

int main(void) {

FILE *fd;
char msg[19]={'a','t','d','t',' ','1','2','3','4','5','6','\r','\n'};

fd=fopen("/dev/ttyS1", "w");

if (fd<0) {
print ("Error: Couldn't open serial port\n");
return 1;
}

fputs(msg,fd);

close(fd);
}

After I added that command, it doesn't work also

Maybe this site can help you.

As it is very urgent for me
what i want is dial a number by using modem throught C program
my modem device is /dev/ttyS1
and the AT command is "ATDT123456"

thanks very much

The website is not compilable.

Uhm... I do not know, but try this. It is your code with some modifications.

include <stdio.h>
#include <sys/ioctl.h>
#include <sys/stat.h>
#include <fcntl.h>
         
int main(void) {
  FILE *fd;
  char msg[30] = "atdt 123456\r\n";
  fd=fopen("/dev/ttyS1", "r+");
  if(fd == NULL){
    printf("Error: Couldn't open serial port\n");
    return 1;
  }         
  fputs(msg,fd);
  close(fd);
  return 0;
}

Hope that works!

:see Ray Duncan's "interrupt manual".
Bioscom() is the common fucntion used in dos.look for equivalent compiler func.

Although i have include the library of <bios.h>
but when i compile it, it say bioscom is an undefined varaible
why it is happened??

perhaps ur linux version is not supporting Bios.h.Make ur own function
using Comm. interrupts from Ray dunc... search the web u will get entire collection.Also check ur syntax with ur compilers syntax.

Although it is demanding, i really need the program now. As i cannot seach that website from internet, would you mind to write a simple program for me.

ps:I have try <bios.h> and <canio.h>, but it seems that my version of linux is not support these two. Thanks

I don't think any version of unix or linux supports bios.h. That is an old MS-DOS header file. I just searched my linux computer and that file is not on it.

i meant perhaps there is some problem in path of the file or other which suki_yip is not able to diagnose.Please dont take it literally.my language command is a bit weak.then its better to write ur own method.

Regards

in fact, when i search my computer, there is a >bios.h> there, then i include the path also, but the bioscom() is undefinited veriable

I found bios.h as well but it was in my kernel source directory. I think it's a kernel header file, and not part of gcc. I looked at the file and the only thing it contained was a single line:

#define CONFIG_PCI_BIOS 1

here is actual source , but i dont know whether this will work on linux or not.it should.

i want to ask how biocom() can help me, as i see it is just use to initialise the serial port and config it, such as the baud rate or whether parity bit used or not.............

I am using linux with C language
In fact, i want to open by port /dev/ttyS1
for this part, i think i can do this by fopen() or open(), i am sure that i open for the right port.

the next thing i want to do i send a AT command, such as ATDT123455, where 123456 is telephone number. However, it doesn't work. Is there any suggestions???

The functions in that file are usless in unix/linux. Those are for MS-DOS. When in Rome do as the Romans do -- do it the unix way. I don't recall how its done (its been over 10 years since I worked on unix) but the ports are set using ioctl (or something like that) calls. You'll have to look in the man pages, look them up in a unix programming book, or maybe a google search will help.

frankly suki i have never worked in linux but , i have now understood ur problem.

on dos we do like this

ofstream _outputFile;// outstream object file

_outputFile.open(" COM1"); // NAMING CONVENTION IS
// COM1 or AUX for first serial port
// COM2 ''''''''''' second'''''''''

_outputFile.put(ch_to_be_written);


// USing STANDARD OUT PUT FUNCTION

hope this solves ur problem

I would suggest double checking that device address ("/dev/ttyS1"). I dealt with a similar problem several years ago, and the answer was that I had to use a different device - even though the documentation seemed to indicate ttyS1. I cannot remember the details (such as the device address that actually worked ), but hopefully that may help.
There should be a command to get a status from the comm port or modem. Try sending that to various device ports until you get a response, then use that device.

Do you have permission to access the port?

I just tried to post a message that contained source code to a wardialer that works specifically for linux. I spent a few minutes looking at the code and it's pretty simple to open and initialize a modem. Unfornuately the source was too long to post on here. If you'd like to view the source you can leave your email and I'll send you the package.

Really thanks for your help and support

really thanks for your support,
in fact, my supervisors are not good, and they do not give any advice to me. and for me, i am just a beginner of C language user. Really thanks for your help.

Now i need to do another part first, but i will test that program in the future. But in fact, for the shokdial, i have download the 2nd version at the begining, but it doesn't work, and i don't know whether the 4th version works or not.

Really thanks for your continuous help:)

Read my previous post. If you look at the defines in the file shockdial.c it has the com port as cua0. You probably need to change the define accordingly as suggested in the comments in that file near the beginning. You might also want to download the source to the chat program that's for your linux distribution.
