<h2>DESCRIPTION</h2>
<p>
<b>irsimsend</b> is a simple test tool which given a lircd configuration
file will send all keys defined in that file, the keys listed in
another file or a symbol defined on the command line.
</p>
<p>
The program uses the file driver to log all sent data (pulses/spaces
durations) into a file 'simsend.out'. The symbols sent are printed on
stdout.
