A proper config file for lircd is maybe the most vital part of this package, so you should invest some time to create a working config file. Although I put a good deal of effort in this program it is often not possible to automatically recognize all features of a remote control. <P> If the program fails to recognize the protocol of the remote control you should use the --force option to at least create a config file in raw mode. <P> If <I>file</I> already exists and contains a valid config irrecord will use the protocol description found there and will only try to record the buttons. This is very useful if you want to learn a remote where config files of the same brand are already available. Of course this will only work if the remotes use the same protocol but it's worth a try. You will find template files for the most common protocols in the remotes/generic/ directory of this package. The name of the new file is created by appending .conf to the given filename in this case. <DL COMPACT> <DT><B>-h</B> <B>--help</B><DD> display this message <DT><B>-v</B> <B>--version</B><DD> display version <DT><B>-f</B> <B>--force</B><DD> force raw mode <DT><B>-H</B> <B>--driver</B>=<I>driver</I><DD> use given driver <DT><B>-d</B> <B>--device</B>=<I>device</I><DD> read from given device </DL> <A NAME="lbAE"> </A> <!-- +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ --> <BR><BR> <CENTER>[<A HREF="http://www.lirc.org/">LIRC homepage</A>]<BR> <I>The LIRC Manual, last update: 17-Jan-2007</I></CENTER> <BR><BR> </TD> <TD WIDTH="15%"> <BR></TD> </TR> </TABLE> </TD> </TR> <TR> <TD CLASS="menu" WIDTH="100%"> <BR> </TD> </TR> </TABLE> </BODY> </HTML>
