gtk-devel-list is about development of GTK+, not development with
GTK+. Such questions should be asked on gtk-list or gtk-app-devel-list
instead.

Or, wait : may be not even there. Probably it's better to look into 
your platform documentation before asking basic questions on 
a mailing-list.

But to answer part of your question : Gtk+ does not provide an
abstraction for serial communication. If it would these functions
would be in GLib.

The win32 function to start with is CreateFile("COM?", ...);
AFAIK the respective *NIX function is open("/dev/tty?", ...
