NAME

6       irrecord - application for recording IR-codes for usage with LIRC
7

SYNOPSIS

9       irrecord [options] file
10

DESCRIPTION

12       This  program will record the signals from your remote control and cre‐
13       ate a config file for lircd. A proper config file for  lircd  is  maybe
14       the  most vital part of this package, so you should invest some time to
15       create a working config file. Although I put a good deal of  effort  in
16       this  program  it  is often not possible to automatically recognize all
17       features of a remote control.
18
19       If the program fails to recognize the protocol of  the  remote  control
20       you  should  use the --force option to at least create a config file in
21       raw mode.
22
23       If file already exists and contains a valid config  irrecord  will  use
24       the  protocol  description  found there and will only try to record the
25       buttons. This is very useful if you want to learn a remote where config
26       files of the same brand are already available. Of course this will only
27       work if the remotes use the same protocol but it's  worth  a  try.  You
28       will  find  template  files  for  the  most  common  protocols  in  the
29       remotes/generic/ directory of this package. The name of the new file is
30       created by appending .conf to the given filename in this case.
