NAME
lircrcd - daemon to handle consistent .lircrc state among client applications
SYNOPSIS
lircrcd
[options] config-file
DESCRIPTION
lircrcd
reads the given .lircrc config file and synchronises the mode
that the LIRC clients such as (irexec(1), irxevent(1) ,
etc.) are in. Using
lircrcd
has to be explicitly
enabled in the lircrc config file by adding the following line at the
beginning of the file:
-
lircrc_class default
This must be done at the top-level file, not an included one. The lircrc_class
string (here "default") could actually be anything; clients using the same
string in their lircrc will be synchronized.
OPTIONS
- -h --help
-
display help message
- -v --version
-
display version
- -p, --permission=mode
-
The --permission option gives the file permission of the Unix domain
socket lircrcd creates on startup in octal representation. Read the
documentation for chmod for further details. If no --permission option
is given when the socket is created the default is to give only the
user owning the file read and write permissions (0600 in octal
representation).
- -o, --output=socket
-
With the --output option you can select the Unix domain socket, which
lircrcd will create. The default is to create a socket in VARRUNDIR
(usually /var/run/lirc), see FILES.
FILES
lircrcd creates its socket(s) in the VARRUNDIR directory, usually
/var/run/lirc. The socket basename includes the user UID and the
string from the lircrc_class option.
