This is a blocking function call. It will only return on these conditions:

• a newline character was read, this is discarded.

• max_bytes were read, this prevents overflowing a user buffer.

• timeout declared in rc_uart_init() is reached

• shutdown flag is set by rc_uart_close

Parameters:

• bus – [in] The bus number /dev/ttyO{bus}

• buf – [out] data pointer

• max_bytes – [in] max bytes to read in case newline character not found

Returns:

Returns number of bytes actually read or -1 on error.
