I'm trying to make a program that must read and write data to and from a serial port, but I'm stomped.

Basically, what I need is something like this:

serial_connect() - connect to a given port at a given baud rate.
serial_terminate() - close the connection again
serial_send() - sends data over the serial port

-- and some sort of function for receiving data as well..

Is there a library or similar that I can use?
(Please link or be specific, as I can't seem to find anything anywhere)
Even a short example would be of tremendous help..

I'm using GCC on Linux.
