NAME

       ircat - print strings when pressing buttons

SYNOPSIS

       ircat [options] <prog>

DESCRIPTION

       This  program  prints  config strings to standard output. It can be used to provide remote
       control input to scripts and to debug your .lircrc file.

       The argument to the program is the program name, as it appears  in  the  prog  entries  in
       .lircrc.

              display usage summary

       -v --version
              display version

       -c --config=<file>
              set config file

EXAMPLES

       If .lircrc contains:

       begin
            prog = myprog
            button = tv_p+
            config = next_file
       end

       then

       $ ircat myprog

       will print "next_file" (followed by newline) every time the button tv_p+ is pressed.
