Is there an option, for cat, head, tail, or is there any way, to display a file from last line to first? For example, my file
looks like this:

Code:
aaaa
bbbb
cccc
eeee

and I would like to print or display it like this:

Code:
eeee
cccc
bbbb
aaaa

thanks

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
