<h2>NAME</h2>
<p>
<b>lircrc</b> - application-specific remotes signals configuration
<a name="lbAC"> </a>
</p>
<h2>DESCRIPTION</h2>
<p>
<b>lircrc</b> is the last LIRC configuration point in the
flow of events from the kernel to the application. It provides a way
to translate the application-agnostic events which <i>lircd</i> makes
available on <i>/run/lirc/lircd</i> to application-specific strings.
The translation is invoked by LIRC-aware applications by using the
the <i>lirc_code2char()</i> routine in the <i>lirc_client</i>
library.
</p>
<p>
The lircrc event mapping is not only mapping from a remote event
to an application string. It also supports a variety of functionality
such as repeat suppression, modes, long keypresses and button sequences.
</p>
<p>
The default location for lircrc is <i>~/.config/lircrc</i> with a global
fallback in <i>/etc/lirc/lircrc</i>. Many applications which
uses the lircrc translations have private locations for the file.
</p>
<p>
The programmatic interface to the <b>lircrc</b> functionality is described
in the Client API manual, see below
</p>
<p>
The file format is described in the configuration manual, see below.
