(Statement)
[Version 1.5 or later]

Gets the status of RS-232C or Ethernet port.

com_state [#<portnumber>,]<integervar>

When the port number has not been specified, controller RS-232C is selected.

Note that -1 will be returned if a transmission port error occurs. At the time of Ethernet use, -1 will be also returned if network connection of the port is not established.
