 
The function read-serial-port-char reads and returns a character from the serial port associated with serial-port .
A timeout will occur if the character is not available before the read timeout (as specified by values given when the serial port was opened by open-serial-port).
When a timeout occurs, if 
timeout-error-p
 is non-
nil
, then an error of type 
serial-port-timeout
 is signalled, otherwise 
timeout-char
 is returned. The default value of 
timeout-error-p
 is 
t
.
