+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.PP
+The serial line devices serve a one-level directory,
+giving access to the serial ports.
+Device
+.I n
+is accessed through
+.BI eia n
+(the data file),
+.BI eia n ctl
+(the control file), and
+.BI eia n status
+(the read-only status file).
+Reads of the data file will block until at least one byte is available.
+The
+control file
+configures the port.
+It accepts the following commands:
+.TP
+.BI b n
+Set the baud rate to
+.IR n .
+.TP
+.BI d n
+Set DTR if
+.I n
+is non-zero;
+else clear it.
+.TP
+.BI k n
+Send a break lasting
+.I n
+milliseconds.
+.TP
+.BI r n
+Set RTS if
+.I n
+is non-zero;
+else clear it.
+.TP
+.BI m n

+.I n
+is non-zero;
+else clear it.
+.TP
+.BI i n
+Enable input FIFO if
+.I n
+is non-zero;
+else disable.
+.TP
+.BI p c
+Set parity to odd if
+.I c
+is
+.BR o ,
+to even if
+.I c
+is
+.BR e ;
+else set no parity.
+.TP
+.BI s n
+Set number of stop bits to
+.IR n .
+Legal values are 1 or 2.
+.TP
+.BI l n
+Set number of bits per byte to
+.IR n .
+Legal values are 5, 6, 7, or 8.
+.PP
