 *
 * The IPRT serial port API provides a platform independent API to control a
 * serial port of the host. It supports receiving/transmitting data as well as
 * controlling and monitoring the status lines of a standard serial port.
 *
 * The user of the API is currently resposible for serializing calls to it.
 * The only exception is RTSerialPortEvtPollInterrupt() which can be called on
 * any thread to interrupt another thread waiting in RTSerialPortEvtPoll().
