lircd-uinput - Forward lirc button presses as uinput events
lircd-uinput [options]... [lircd output socket]
Enables automatic generation of Linux input events.
lircd-uinputopens the uinput device and injects key events received on a
lircd (8)output socket to the Linux kernel. The key code depends on the name that was given a button in the lircd config file, e.g., if the button is named KEY_1, the '1' key code will be generated. A complete list of possible button names is available in
/usr/include/linux/input.hiand also using
irrecord -l.lircd-uinput is designed to run as a systemd service.
The lircd output socket argument is an optional path to lircd output socket. It defaults to the output value in the [lircd] section of the lirc_options config file, falling back to /var/run/lirc/lircd.
can only forward lircd button events with names from the legal namespace as defined by
irrecord(1), i. e., as defined by the kernel.
