Description

The function write-serial-port-string writes characters from the subsequence of string bounded by start and end to the serial port associated with serial-port.

The default values of start and end are 0 and nil (interpreted as the length of string) respectively.

If the characters are successfully written then string is returned.

A timeout will occur if the characters cannot be written before the write 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 signaled, otherwise nil is returned. The default value of timeout-error-p is t.
