NAME

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

SYNOPSIS

       irrecord [options] file

DESCRIPTION

       This program will record the signals from your remote control and create a config file for
       lircd. A proper config file for lircd is maybe the most vital part of this package, so you
       should  invest  some  time  to create a working config file. Although I put a good deal of
       effort in this program it is often not possible to automatically recognize all features of
       a remote control.

       If  the  program  fails to recognize the protocol of the remote control you should use the
       --force option to at least create a config file in raw mode.

       If file already exists and  contains  a  valid  config  irrecord  will  use  the  protocol
       description  found  there  and will only try to record the buttons. This is very useful if
       you want to learn a remote where config files of the same brand are already available.  Of
       course  this will only work if the remotes use the same protocol but it's worth a try. You
       will find template files for the most common protocols in the  remotes/generic/  directory
       of  this  package.  The  name  of  the new file is created by appending .conf to the given
       filename in this case.
