Thanks, it does.
I had thought of this but it looked like an overly complicated way given that
the list of tty* ports using ls -l /dev/tty* on my system comprises no less than
98 hits....
So I am now limiting the program to use USB connected serial adapters USB0..USB3
and on start I populate the list of ports by checking that /dev/USBx eists where
x is 0..3.
After all this is the most common use nowadays with USB serial devices in
connection with developing IoT devices.
/dev/tty* is pretty much useless. It's there for historical reasons.
/dev/ttyS* is the one for actual serial adapters, and, unless you
override with a command line parameter on boot, it is limited to 0..3 in
modern kernels.
