NAME
     irrecord - application for recording IR-codes for usage with LIRC

SYNOPSIS
     irrecord [options] file

DESCRIPTION
     This  program will record the signals from your remote control and create a
     config file for lircd. A proper config file for lircd is maybe the most vi-
     tal part of this package, so you should invest some time to create a  work-
     ing 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 con-
     trol.

     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.

     If file 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  re-
     motes  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.
