com0com

I have a project that contains some unitary tests used to test the serial communications using COM ports (in windows). I use com0com to create a virtual pair of bounded ports and execute the tests. However I don't know how to do that in Linux neither in MACOS. I've read this topic: Are there some program like COM0COM in linux? Where the answer suggests using socat. I've tried that approach but it doesn't work, my application doesn't detect the ports I've just defined in socat. socat PTY,link=/dev/COM98 PTY,link=/dev/COM99 My theory is that socat cannot create virtual ports, it can only bind

I use com0com for program testing in windows, are there any program like com0com in linux? I know there is pts/ptmx, but what I want is a stand alone program to provide 2 virtual serial ports... Then I can open 2 program, each attench one... linjunhalida I found a good method: socat PTY,link=COM8 PTY,link=COM9 then 2 virtual serial port files are created: COM8, COM9 You can also use tty2comKm virtual serial port driver for linux provided by serialpundit project. 来源： https://stackoverflow.com/questions/2175440/are-there-some-program-like-com0com-in-linux
