Name
       modbus_rtu_set_serial_mode - set	the serial mode

Synopsis
       int modbus_rtu_set_serial_mode(modbus_t *ctx, int mode);

Description
       The modbus_rtu_set_serial_mode()	function shall set the selected	serial
       mode:

        MODBUS_RTU_RS232,  the	 serial	 line is set for RS-232	communication.
	 RS-232	(Recommended Standard 232) is the traditional name for	a  se-
	 ries  of  standards  for  serial binary single-ended data and control
	 signals connecting between a DTE (Data	Terminal Equipment) and	a  DCE
	 (Data	Circuit-terminating  Equipment).   It is commonly used in com-
	 puter serial ports.

        MODBUS_RTU_RS485, the serial line is set  for	RS-485	communication.
	 EIA-485,  also	known as TIA/EIA-485 or	RS-485,	is a standard defining
	 the electrical	characteristics	of drivers and receivers  for  use  in
	 balanced digital multipoint systems. This standard is widely used for
	 communications	in industrial automation because it can	be used	effec-
	 tively	over long distances and	in electrically	noisy environments.

       This function is	only supported on Linux	kernels	2.6.28 onwards.

Return value
       The function shall return 0 if successful. Otherwise it shall return -1
       and set errno to	one of the values defined below.

Errors
        EINVAL, the current libmodbus backend is not RTU.

        ENOTSUP, the function is not supported	on your	platform.

       If the call to ioctl() fails, the error code of ioctl will be returned.
