6.MHWFLOW

This function is used to enable/disable hardware flow control. The first open() function of a port will set the MHWFLOW to configuration setting. However, user might want to control the DTR or RTS signal on their will, thus the RTS flow control bit should be turned off in order to take over the control of DTR or RTS signal via function MTCRTS or MTCDTR. MTCRTS and MTCDTR can be effective only after the RTS flow control bit of MHWFLOW is turned off.
