A simple C++ class for enumerating COM ports on a computer. Useful for embedded programming or for communication with USB-to-serial bridge devices.
This C++ class provides cross-platform enumeration of serial ports
for Windows, Linux and Mac OS X.
Uses the C++17 standard library.
Please see the main.cpp file for further details. A complete
sample program is provided below.
#include <iostream>
#include "GetComPortList.h"
int main()
{
std::cout << "Print all serial port names:" << std::endl;
GetComPortList::print_serial_port_list();
std::cout << "Obtain a vector of port names:" << std::endl;
std::vector<std::string> lst = GetComPortList::get_list_serial_ports();
for (const std::string& s: lst)
{
std::cout << s << std::endl;
}
return 0;
} // end
This readme file and C++ class should be easily understandable. Please feel free to contact me if you would like to have changes made to the code.
