The ClearCommError function retrieves information about a communications error and reports the current status of a communications device. The function is called when a communications error occurs, and it clears the device’s error flag to enable additional input and output (I/O) operations.
BOOL ClearCommError(
HANDLE hFile, |
// handle to communications device |
LPDWORD lpErrors, |
// pointer to variable to receive error codes |
LPCOMSTAT lpStat |
// pointer to buffer for communications status |
); |
Value |
Meaning |
CE_BREAK |
The hardware detected a break condition. |
CE_DNS |
Windows 95 only: A parallel device is not selected. |
CE_FRAME |
The hardware detected a framing error. |
CE_IOE |
An I/O error occurred during communications with the device. |
CE_MODE |
The requested mode is not supported, or the hFile parameter is invalid. If this value is specified, it is the only valid error. |
CE_OOP |
Windows 95 only: A parallel device signaled that it is out of paper. |
CE_OVERRUN |
A character-buffer overrun has occurred. The next character is lost. |
CE_PTO |
Windows 95 only: A time-out occurred on a parallel device. |
CE_RXOVER |
An input buffer overflow has occurred. There is either no room in the input buffer, or a character was received after the end-of-file (EOF) character. |
CE_RXPARITY |
The hardware detected a parity error. |
CE_TXFULL |
The application tried to transmit a character, but the output buffer was full. |
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.
If a communications port has been set up with a TRUE value for the fAbortOnError member of the setup DCB structure, the communications software will terminate all read and write operations on the communications port when a communications error occurs. No new read or write operations will be accepted until the application acknowledges the communications error by calling the ClearCommError function.
The ClearCommError function fills the status buffer pointed to by the lpStat parameter with the current status of the communications device specified by the hFile parameter.

Ashley Roll has put together a really nice little unit here. Leave off the MAX232 and keep these handy for the few times you need true RS232! |
