POSIX allows either EOF (0) or -1/EIO.) Not to mention that set the device as controlling tty so that you get the SIGHUP. As far as using the "non-standard" method: if you are depending on O_EXCL exclusive open to block other processes attempting to open the port (such as you might do if you did not want to bother with the "lock file" crock), then closing the port is not really an option.
