NAME

lircrcd - daemon to handle consistent .lircrc state among client applications

SYNOPSIS

lircrcd [options] config-file

DESCRIPTION

lircrcd reads the given .lircrc config file and synchronises the mode that the LIRC clients using this config file (irexec(1), irxevent(1) , etc.) are in. Using lircrcd has to be explicitly enabled in the config file by adding the following line at the beginning of the file:
#! lircrcd

-h --help

display this message

-v --version

display version

-p --permission=mode

file permissions for socket

-o --output=socket

output socket filename

OPTIONS

-p, --premission=mode

The --permission option gives the file permission of the Unix domain socket lircrcd creates on startup in octal representation. Read the documentation for chmod for further details. If no --permission option is given when the socket is created the default is to give only the user owning the file read and write permissions (0600 in octal representation).

-o, --output=socket

With the --output option you can select the Unix domain socket, which lircrcd will create. The default is to append a "d" character to the config filename given.
