#' A serial communication interface for R.
#'
#' @description
#' This R package provides the functionality of serial communication ports
#' "COM" or "tty" to use the RS232/RS422/RS485 capabilities of the corresponding
#' hardware. Also virtual COM-ports via USB do work, as long as they are mapped
#' to COM[n] (win) or tty[n] (Linux) in the operating system.
#'
#' \describe{
#' \item{\code{open(con)}}{opens a serial connection}
#' \item{\code{close(con)}}{closes the serial connection}
#' \item{\code{flush(con)}}{flushes the serial connection}
#' \item{\code{nBytesInQueue(con)}}{get the length of pending input an output queue}
#' \item{\code{read.serialConnection(con)}}{read from the interface as long as
#' the buffer is not empty}
#' \item{\code{write.serialConnection(con,dat)}}{writes a data (character or binary) to the serial interface}
#' \item{\code{isOpen(con)}}{test a connection, whether it is open or not}
#' \item{\code{listPorts()}}{list all available ports on the system}
#' }
#'
#' @examples
#' # for this example I used the 'null-modem' emulator 'com0com' for Windows
#' # which is available on 'http://com0com.sourceforge.net/'
#' # Here the pair of com-ports is 'CNCA0' <-> 'CNCB0'
#'
#' # Test the functionality:
#' # ======================
#' #
#' # first: install the virtual null-modem connection like
#' # com0com (win) or tty0tty (linux)
#' # Hint: Some unix insist on port names like 'ttyS[n]'.
#' #
#' # second: setup a terminal program (like HTerm or gtkterm) and listen to
#' # com-port 'CNCB0' (or what ever you have installed)
#' # or (for unix only) 'cat /dev/tnt1' will output tnt1 to console
#'
#' \dontrun{
#'
#' # Now configure one of the com-ports with appropriate connection properties
#' con <- serialConnection(name = "testcon",port = "CNCA0"
#' ,mode = "115200,n,8,1"
#' ,newline = 1
#' ,translation = "crlf"
#' )
#'
#' # let's open the serial interface
#'
#' open(con)
#'
#' # write some stuff
#' write.serialConnection(con,"Hello World!")
#'
#' # read, in case something came in
#' read.serialConnection(con)
#'
#' # show summary
#' summary(con)
#'
#' # close the connection
#' close(con)
#'
#'
#'
#' # Reading and writing binary (hexadecimal) data
#' # remember: Everything is a string, so you might need data conversation
#'
#' con <- serialConnection(name = "testcon",port = "CNCA0"
#' ,mode = "115200,n,8,1"
#' ,translation = "binary" # switches to binary data
#' )
#'
#' # let's open the serial interface
#'
#' open(con)
#'
#' # write some stuff
#' write.serialConnection(con, rawToChar(as.raw(15)) ) # 0x0F
#' write.serialConnection(con, c(15,20) ) # 0x0F, 0x14
#' write.serialConnection(con, c(0x6F,0x6C) )
#'
#' # read, in case something came in
#' # the output is always a character vector
#' a <- read.serialConnection(con)
#'
#' # convert the character vector to hexadecimal (raw) values
#' print(a)
#'
#' # close the connection
#' close(con)
