Serial FD, short for serial file descriptor, refers to a special file in Unix-like operating systems that represents a serial communication port. These files are usually located in the /dev directory and are named /dev/tty* , where tty stands for teletype. Serial FDs allow programs to communicate with serial devices, such as modems, printers, and other microcontrollers.
