This is code for the Linux version - the biggest change will be the serial port name (the '/dev/rfcomm0') part. I don't have my Mac here so I'm sorry I forget the name of the Mac device but it is in /dev - something with Bluetooth if I remember correctly. All this sample does is read bytes off of the serial (USB) port. To access the serial port, this handle is just opened as an ordinary file. The opened serial port file descriptor also conforms to the TTY API for setting serial port specific settings like baudrate. This tutorial describes how to implement the simple serial port program in OS X in Swift. Accessing a serial port in OS X requires the use of.
Using screen as a serial terminal on Mac OS X
Geek Inc.
What I need is to listen 4 different ethernet ports (4001 to (4002) receiving serial data from one IP address (192.168.1.3). The application I use listen only serial ports (true or virtual) and to avoid a mess of serial to usb adapter cables I use a serial port server. So, if I could map virtual serial port to each ethernet port it will be fine. It's possible to know that port is busy (TYPEPORTBUSY) by using TIOCEXCL directive in.nix native library, but using of this directive make some troubles in Solaris OS, that's why TIOCEXCL not used in Solaris (!) Be careful with it. Also Solaris and Mac OS X versions of jSSC not support following events: ERR, TXEMPTY, BREAK.

If you develop on an Apple and find yourself doing any sort of device or embedded development, you will quickly find the need for a serial terminal on Mac. There are a few software apps out there, but I find it much simpler to simply use the terminal application “screen”.
This works well particularly if you have an RS-232 serial to USB converter.
The first thing to do is determine which device you want to connect to.
Once you’ve determined which device you would like to use, you can execute the SCREEN command to start the serial terminal session on your Mac. Remember to specify the speed (baud rate) after the device name.
Once you’ve connected, you can use the terminal as you normally would.
To exit (and close the screen gracefully) press:

Screen will then prompt you to quit and kill all of your windows. Press “y” and you’ll be back to your shell terminal.
This method works equally well if you want to connect to a serial bluetooth device. You must simply make sure that the bluetooth device is paired and active. Then you will be able to see the device in the list of devices. Once you’ve connected to the serial bluetooth device with screen, the connection will be held active for the length of your session.
I’ve used this method to connect to the sparkfun Bluetooth Mate Gold. It simply appears as a serial stream that you can communicate with exactly as you would with any other serial device.
