Serial Port I/O Function: Returns the baud rate, parity, data bits setting, and stop bits setting of the communications port. This routine is only available for Windows.
Module
USE IFPORT
result = SPORT_GET_STATE (port [,baud] [,parity] [,dbits] [,sbits])
port  |  
      (Input) Integer. The port number.  |  
     
baud  |  
      (Output; optional) Integer. The baud rate of the port.  |  
     
parity  |  
      (Output; optional) Integer. The parity setting of the port (0-4 = no, odd, even, mark, space).  |  
     
dbits  |  
      (Output; optional) Integer. The data bits for the port.  |

      (Output; optional) Integer. The stop bits for the port (0, 1, 2 = 1, 1.5, 2).  |  
     
Results
The result type is INTEGER(4). The result is zero if successful; otherwise, a Windows* error value.
Example
USE IFPORT
INTEGER(4) iresult
INTEGER    baud
INTEGER    parity
INTEGER    dbits
INTEGER    sbits
iresult =  SPORT_GET_STATE( 2, baud, parity, dbits, sbits )
