Dan you are right, I got the logic inverted. The procedure should read (Same caveats as last time). // iterate over I/O registry to find desired node and keep your // registry entry node (See DTS docs for a write up on how to do this) io_registry_entry_t portre = <do the search> // That's it while we are running non-preemtibly/exclusive further // attempts to open the port on either cu.* or tty.* will fail with EBUSY This email sent to site_archiver@lists.apple.com
