- Bit Rate
- A binary integer representing the actual bit rate of the COM device in bits-per-second, rounded to the nearest whole number.
Returns
If the call is made with an invalid Parameter Packet value, a general failure error is reported and valid information is not returned in the Data Packet.
Remarks
If a general failure error is not returned, the physical device driver returns the current bit rate of the COM device.
- Note
- If this function is called when the current bit rate setting of a COM port is greater than what can be stored in a 1-WORD field, the device driver sets the bit rate to 1200 bps (default value) and returns 1200 bps to the user.
