inputlircd (8)
is a small LIRC daemon that reads from
devices and sends the received keycodes to connecting LIRC clients. needs
no configuration, it uses the standardised names for the keycodes as used
by the kernel. Many USB remote controls that present HID devices, as well
as multimedia keyboards should work out of the box. expects a list of
input event devices as commandline parameters. It will only read events
from those devices.
Location of the UNIX socket to which LIRC clients
can connect. The default is Run in the foreground. Grab the input device(s).
This gives exclusive access to the input devices and stops events from
propagating any further. Minimum keycode to send to LIRC clients. Keycodes
lower than this number are filtered out. The default is 88, this filters
out the alphanumeric section and the keypad section of normal keyboards,
but allows all extended keys. The rationale is that clients should not be
able to grab normal keypresses, this could be a security risk. Set user
and group id to that of after opening the devices and UNIX socket as root.
The default is nobody. One or more input event devices. If you want to use
to process multimedia keys on the keyboard, then is the most likely choice.
If you have other input devices, such as USB remote controllers that act
like a HID device, then you probably need one of the other event devices
present. See for a list of available input devices. If unsure, you can add
all available input event devices.
Default location of the UNIX
socket to which LIRC clients can connect. The kernel input layer’s event
device files. List of all input devices.
