Mac Command Line - List Available Serial Ports?

Question

on my Mac, i currently have the available serial ports:

• /dev/tty.usbserial-A700dYoR
• /dev/cu.usbserial-A700dYoR
• /dev/tty.Bluetooth-PDA-Sync
• /dev/cu.Bluetooth-PDA-Sync
• /dev/tty.Bluetooth-Modem
• /dev/cu.Bluetooth-Modem

is it possible to retrieve a list of the available serial ports of the computer from the command line (terminal)?

Answer 1

ah... it is much easier than i though.

ls /dev/tty.*
ls /dev/cu.*

will list

• /dev/tty.usbserial-A700dYoR
• /dev/tty.Bluetooth-PDA-Sync
• /dev/tty.Bluetooth-Modem
• /dev/cu.usbserial-A700dYoR
• /dev/cu.Bluetooth-PDA-Sync
• /dev/cu.Bluetooth-Modem
