fantastic, thanks!

unfortunately......

opensuse103:/home/roland/serialcons # ./mytioccons
ioctl: Device or resource busy

but, it`s not userspace:

opensuse103:/home/roland # lsof |egrep "console|ttyS0"
opensuse103:/home/roland #


in tty_io.c -> ticoccons() there is

        if (redirect) {
                spin_unlock(&redirect_lock);
                return -EBUSY;
        }


but i`m not deep enough into programming to understand this.

-------------------
mytioccons.c

#include <sys/ioctl.h>
#include <sys/stat.h>
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <fcntl.h>
#include <libio.h>
#include <errno.h>
#include <stdio.h>

int main(void)
{
int fd = open("/dev/ttyS0", O_RDWR);
int errno;

ioctl(0, TIOCCONS, NULL);

if (ioctl(fd, TIOCCONS, NULL) < 0)
        printf("ioctl: %s\n", strerror(errno));
}
