NAME
     irsend - basic LIRC program to send infra-red commands

SYNOPSIS
     irsend [options] DIRECTIVE REMOTE CODE [CODE...]

DESCRIPTION
     Asks  the	lircd  daemon  to send one or more CIR (Consumer Infra-Red) com-
     mands. This is intended for remote control of electronic devices such as TV
     boxes, HiFi sets, etc.

     DIRECTIVE can be:
	SEND_ONCE	  - send CODE [CODE ...] once
	SEND_START	  - start repeating CODE
	SEND_STOP	  - stop repeating CODE
	LIST		  - list configured remote items
	SET_TRANSMITTERS  - set transmitters NUM [NUM ...]
	SIMULATE	  - simulate IR event

     REMOTE is the name of a remote, as described  in  the  lircd  configuration
     file.

     CODE  is  the  name of a remote control key of REMOTE, as it appears in the
     lircd configuration file.

     NUM is the transmitter number of the hardware device.

     For the LIST DIRECTIVE, REMOTE and/or CODE can be empty:

	LIST   ""    ""   - list all configured remote names
	LIST REMOTE  ""   - list all codes of REMOTE
	LIST REMOTE CODE  - list only CODE of REMOTE

     The SIMULATE command only works if it has been explicitly enabled in lircd.

     -h --help
	    display usage summary

     -v --version
	    display version

     -d --device
	    use given lircd socket [/var/run/lirc/lircd]

     -a --address=host[:port]
	    connect to lircd at this address

     -# --count=n
	    send command n times

EXAMPLES
	irsend LIST DenonTuner ""
	irsend SEND_ONCE  DenonTuner PROG-SCAN
	irsend SEND_ONCE  OnkyoAmpli VOL-UP VOL-UP VOL-UP VOL-UP
	irsend SEND_START OnkyoAmpli VOL-DOWN ; sleep 3
	irsend SEND_STOP  OnkyoAmpli VOL-DOWN
	irsend SET_TRANSMITTERS 1
	irsend SET_TRANSMITTERS 1 3 4
	irsend SIMULATE "0000000000000476 00 OK TECHNISAT_ST3004S"

FILES
     /etc/lirc/lircd.conf
	    Default lircd configuration file.  It should  contain  all	the  re-
	    motes,  their infra-red codes and the corresponding timing and wave-
	    form details.

DIAGNOSTICS
     If lircd is not running (or /var/run/lirc/lircd  lacks  write  permissions)
     irsend aborts with the following diagnostics:
     "irsend: could not connect to socket"
     "irsend: Connection refused" (or "Permission denied").

SEE ALSO
     The  documentation  for  lirc is maintained as html pages. They are located
     under html/ in the documentation directory.
