What does "speed 38400 baud" means, does "baud" here have something to do with a serial port's baud rate?

It is not good to write questions in this way. https://unix.meta.stackexchange.com/questions/4086/ – JdeBP Nov 01 '17 at 05:27

Yes, it is the baud rate of the tty.

For a tty to have a baud rate, this means that the tty have a "virtual serial port" (i.e. a serial port emulation, in the same way a physical tty have a physical serial port), since the baud rate is a property of a serial port, correct? – Joseph Nov 01 '17 at 07:18

You already asked that as an actual question at https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/401607/ . – JdeBP Nov 01 '17 at 07:53

@JdeBP But the answers I got on that question says that No, a tty does not have a "virtual serial port". And in this question I am finding out that a tty have a baud rate, and a baud rate is a property of a serial port! – Joseph Nov 01 '17 at 08:06

No, you are finding out that a general answer to a general question that does not mention virtual terminals is not the same as a detailed answer to a question that is specifically about virtual terminals. This is in part because the general answer is not generally true, but also in part because you did not ask a good question and left out stuff from it that you are now bringing up in answer comments. – JdeBP Nov 01 '17 at 12:10
