NAME

       irpty - pseudo tty driver

SYNOPSIS

       irpty [options] config_file -- program [args ...]

DESCRIPTION

       irpty  connects  to  lircd  to  receive  infrared codes and converts them to key strokes. E.g. type irpty
       ~/.lircrc -- workbone to control the CD-player program workbone. Of course you will  have  to  create  an
       appropriate  config  file  for  this  purpose  first.  The  config  string  will be passed to the desired
       application. Note that you can use escape sequences to specify non printable characters. Have a  look  at
       the .lircrc file format description for details.
