NAME

       irsend - basic LIRC program to send infra-red commands

SYNOPSIS

       irsend [options] DIRECTIVE REMOTE CODE [CODE...]

DESCRIPTION

       Asks the lircd daemon to send one or more CIR (Consumer Infra-Red) commands. This is intended for remote control of electronic devices such
       as TV boxes, HiFi sets, etc.

       DIRECTIVE can be:
	  SEND_ONCE	    - send CODE [CODE ...] once
	  SEND_START	    - start repeating CODE
	  SEND_STOP	    - stop repeating CODE
	  LIST		    - list configured remote items
	  SET_TRANSMITTERS  - set transmitters NUM [NUM ...]
	  SIMULATE	    - simulate IR event

       REMOTE is the name of a remote, as described in the lircd configuration file.

       CODE is the name of a remote control key of REMOTE, as it appears in the lircd configuration file.

       NUM is the transmitter number of the hardware device.

       For the LIST DIRECTIVE, REMOTE and/or CODE can be empty:

	  LIST	 ""    ""   - list all configured remote names
	  LIST REMOTE  ""   - list all codes of REMOTE
	  LIST REMOTE CODE  - list only CODE of REMOTE

       The SIMULATE command only works if it has been explicitly enabled in lircd.

       -h --help
	      display usage summary

       -v --version
	      display version

       -d --device
	      use given lircd socket [/var/run/lirc/lircd]

       -a --address=host[:port]
	      connect to lircd at this address

       -# --count=n
	      send command n times

EXAMPLES

	  irsend LIST DenonTuner ""
	  irsend SEND_ONCE  DenonTuner PROG-SCAN
	  irsend SEND_ONCE  OnkyoAmpli VOL-UP VOL-UP VOL-UP VOL-UP
	  irsend SEND_START OnkyoAmpli VOL-DOWN ; sleep 3
	  irsend SEND_STOP  OnkyoAmpli VOL-DOWN
	  irsend SET_TRANSMITTERS 1
	  irsend SET_TRANSMITTERS 1 3 4
	  irsend SIMULATE "0000000000000476 00 OK TECHNISAT_ST3004S"

FILES

       /etc/lirc/lircd.conf
	      Default lircd configuration file.  It should contain all the remotes, their infra-red codes and the corresponding timing	and  wave-
	      form details.

DIAGNOSTICS

       If lircd is not running (or /var/run/lirc/lircd lacks write permissions) irsend aborts with the following diagnostics:
       "irsend: could not connect to socket"
       "irsend: Connection refused" (or "Permission denied").

NAME

       lircmd - LIRC mouse daemon translates infrared signals into mouse events

SYNOPSIS

       lircmd [options] [config-file]

DESCRIPTION

       This  daemon  can  simulate a MouseSystems, IntelliMouse or IMPS/2 type mouse. It gets the received buttons from lircd and converts them to
       mouse events. To make this possible, lircmd needs a config file located in /etc/lircmd.conf. In this file you have to determine which  but-
       ton  from  which  remote causes a mouse move or a mouse button click.  You can also specify a special button which activates or deactivates
       the mouse mode.

       -h --help
	      display this message

       -v --version
	      display version

       -n --nodaemon
	      don't fork to background

       -u --uinput
	      generate Linux input events

OPTIONS

       If you provide the --nodaemon option lircmd won't fork to background.

       On Linux systems the --uinput option will enable automatic generation of Linux input events. lircmd will open /dev/input/uinput and  inject
       the simulated mouse events into the Linux kernel rather than creating the /dev/lircm device.

FILES

       lircmd will use syslogd to output error messages. It depends on your system configuration where they will show up.

DAEMONS

       lircd  and  lircmd are daemons. You should start them in some init script depending on your system. There are some example scripts for dif-
       ferent distributions in the contrib directory. lircmd has to be started after lircd as it connects to the socket lircd provides.

       If you start lircd or lircmd from your shell prompt you will usually get back immediately to the prompt. Often people think that  the  pro-
       gram has died. But this is not an error. lircd and lircmd are daemons. Daemons always run in background.
