IOCTL_SERIAL_GET_CHARS IOCTL (ntddser.h)
The IOCTL_SERIAL_GET_CHARS request retrieves the special characters that the serial controller driver uses with handshake flow control. The special characters are described by a SERIAL_CHARS structure.
To set special characters, a client can use an IOCTL_SERIAL_SET_CHARS request.
