Here are some examples of how setserial can be used:

To display the current settings of a serial port:
```
setserial /dev/ttyS0
```
To change the baud rate of a serial port:
```
setserial /dev/ttyS0 baud_base 921600
```
To set the data bits, stop bits, and parity of a serial port:
```
setserial /dev/ttyS0 cs8 -parenb -cstopb
```
To enable or disable hardware flow control:
```
setserial /dev/ttyS0 crtscts on
```
