EscapeCommFunction
The EscapeCommFunction function directs a specified communications device to perform an extended
function.
BOOL EscapeCommFunction(
HANDLE hFile,
| // handle to communications device
| DWORD dwFunc
| // extended function to perform
| );
|
|
Parameters
hFile
Identifies the communications device. The CreateFile function returns this handle.
dwFunc
Specifies the code of the extended function to perform. This parameter can be
one of the following values:
Value
| Meaning
| CLRDTR
| Clears the DTR (data-terminal-ready) signal.
| CLRRTS
| Clears the RTS (request-to-send) signal.
| SETDTR
| Sends the DTR (data-terminal-ready) signal.
| SETRTS
| Sends the RTS (request-to-send) signal.
| SETXOFF
| Causes transmission to act as if an XOFF character has been received.
| SETXON
| Causes transmission to act as if an XON character has been received.
| SETBREAK
| Suspends character transmission and places the transmission line in a break
state until the ClearCommBreak function is called (or EscapeCommFunction is called with the CLRBREAK extended function code). The SETBREAK extended
function code is identical to the SetCommBreak function. Note that this extended function does not flush data that has not
been transmitted.
| CLRBREAK
| Restores character transmission and places the transmission line in a nonbreak
state. The CLRBREAK extended function code is identical to the ClearCommBreak function.
|
Return Values
If the function succeeds, the return value is nonzero.
If the function fails, the return value is zero. To get extended error
information, call GetLastError.
