C/C++ Sample code for Serial Communication

[Jamil]

I have a device connected through serial port of my desk top PC
running Windows 2000. The device is sending some data as serial stream
asynchronously. I need to do the follwings:

1) Open the COM1 port of the PC
2) Read the data coming from the connected device
3) Save the data into a file
4) After writing all the data, the COM1 port should be closed

Please refer me any sample code either in C or C++ which I could run
on Windows 2000 PC side for above tasks.

Sorry, but you can't do any of those things in standard C++, the topic
here. The C++ language (and the C language, for that matter) do not
define or support direct access to any hardware at all. All input and
output is defined in terms of C++ stream or C FILE objects.

You need to ask in a support group for your particular compiler to
find out what non-standard extensions it might provide to help with
this. It is a compiler and platform specific issue, not a language
one.

What's complicated about locating information on your own?
You have the world on you finger tips, you just need to find

Karl,

I did a google search on "serial communication c++ sample code" and it found this thread.

I found this fairly useful site:

as well as (even better I think):
