\begin{CompactItemize}
\item 
class {\bf ost::Serial}
\begin{CompactList}\small\item\em The {\bf Serial}{\rm (p.\,\pageref{classost_1_1_serial})} class is used as the base for all serial I/O services under APE.base class for all serial I/O services. \item\end{CompactList}\item 
class {\bf ost::TTYStream}
\begin{CompactList}\small\item\em TTY streams are used to represent serial connections that are fully \char`\"{}streamable\char`\"{} objects using C++ stream classes and friends.streamable tty serial I/O class. \item\end{CompactList}\item 
class {\bf ost::ttystream}
\begin{CompactList}\small\item\em A more natural C++ \char`\"{}ttystream\char`\"{} class for use by non-threaded applications.C++ \char`\"{}fstream\char`\"{} style ttystream class. \item\end{CompactList}\item 
class {\bf ost::TTYSession}
\begin{CompactList}\small\item\em The {\bf TTYSession}{\rm (p.\,\pageref{classost_1_1_t_t_y_session})} aggragates a {\bf TTYStream}{\rm (p.\,\pageref{classost_1_1_t_t_y_stream})} and a Common C++ {\bf Thread}{\rm (p.\,\pageref{classost_1_1_thread})} which is assumed to be the execution context that will be used to perform actual I/O operations.This class is very anagolous to {\bf TCPSession}{\rm (p.\,\pageref{classost_1_1_t_c_p_session})}. \item\end{CompactList}\item 
class {\bf ost::Serial\-Port}
\begin{CompactList}\small\item\em The serial port is an internal class which is attached to and then serviced by a specified {\bf Serial\-Service}{\rm (p.\,\pageref{classost_1_1_serial_service})} thread.base class for thread pool serviced serial I/O. \item\end{CompactList}\item 
class {\bf ost::Serial\-Service}
\begin{CompactList}\small\item\em The {\bf Serial\-Service}{\rm (p.\,\pageref{classost_1_1_serial_service})} is a thead service object that is meant to service attached serial {\bf ports.Thread}{\rm (p.\,\pageref{namespaceost_1a3b6738f6f759fcb52b544a4787cbb2})} pool service for serial ports. \item\end{CompactList}\end{CompactItemize}
