Note
This is a fork of https://github.com/wjwwood/serial
The issues with the original are that it's using catkin - a build tool that would just incur an additional dependency for the build host.
We removed that dependency from the CMakelists but left the code as is. This will make rebasing on the origin repo simple.
Consider any references to catkin below as invalid.

This is a cross-platform library for interfacing with rs-232 serial like ports written in C++. It provides a modern C++ interface with a workflow designed to look and feel like PySerial, but with the speed and control provided by C++.
This library is in use in several robotics related projects and can be built and installed to the OS like most unix libraries with make and then sudo make install, but because it is a catkin project it can also be built along side other catkin projects in a catkin workspace.
Serial is a class that provides the basic interface common to serial libraries (open, close, read, write, etc..) and requires no extra dependencies. It also provides tight control over timeouts and control over handshaking lines.
