title: How to set Inter-Byte Delay Timeout to milliseconds?
body: <p>I'm currently working with termios for serial communication in Linux.</p>
  
  <p>I need to set an intercharacter timeout to 5ms.</p>
  
  <p>I found a way to set  intercharacter timeout using VMIN and VTIME where VMIN has to be VMIN > 0 and VTIME > 0.</p>
  
  <p>The problem is that i need to set the VTIME to 5ms, but the VTIME is expressed in tenths of a second.</p>
  
  <p>VTIME data type is unsigned char, so i can't just set it to 0.05.</p>
  
  <p>Does anyone know if there is some way around this?</p>
