stty procedure for setting serial port

[Larry Smith <doccpu@yahoo.com>]

I know I can do something like this:
stty -g </dev/ttyS0 >save_file

To get a hex listing of parameters for ttyS0 saved
into a file (called save_file here).  Supposedly the
-g options list the parameters in a way making them
compatible as parameters for another stty command.

So how do I do that?  How would I take a saved set of
serial commands (using -g option), and later
re-instating them as the settings for a port with
stty?

I've tried stty <save_file >/dev/ttyS0, but that
doesn't work.

I tried editing the file and making the dumped arments
part of a complete command, like this:

stty dumped_parameters >/dev/ttyS0

That doesn't work either.

What's the use of -g if I can't use what I get from
it?
