NAME

6       ir-keytable - a swiss-knife tool to handle Remote Controllers.
7

SYNOPSIS

9       ir-keytable [OPTION]... --device [/dev/input/event* device]
10       ir-keytable [OPTION]... --sysdev [ir class (f. ex. rc0)]
11       ir-keytable [OPTION]... [for using the rc0 sysdev]
12

DESCRIPTION

14       ir-keytable  is a tool that lists the Remote Controller devices, allows
15       to get/set IR keycode/scancode tables, test events generated by IR, and
16       to adjust other Remote Controller options.
17
18       Note:  You  need to have read permissions on /dev/input for most of the
19       options to work.

75       DEV    the /dev/input/event* device to control
76
77       SYSDEV the ir class as found at /sys/class/rc
78
79       TABLE  a file wit a set of scancode=keycode value pairs
80
81       SCANKEY

91       CFGFILE
92              configuration  file  that  associates a driver/table name with a
93              keymap file
94

EXAMPLES

99       To list all connected Remote Controller devices:
100            ir-keytable
101
102       To clean the keycode table and use a newer one:
103            ir-keytable -c -w /etc/rc_keymaps/nec_terratec_cinergy_xs
104
105       To append more codes to the existing table:
106            ir-keytable -w /etc/rc_keymaps/nec_terratec_cinergy_xs
107
108       To  read  the  current  keytable,  on  the  second  remote  controller:
