irdb-get(1)


NAME

   irdb-get - list, search and download lirc configuration files.

SYNOPSIS

   irdb-get update

   irdb-get find  <string>

   irdb-get info  <id>

   irdb-get download <id>

   irdb-get list [pattern]

   irdb-get find-driver  <string>

   irdb-get yaml-config

   irdb-get  <-h|--help|-v|--version>

DESCRIPTION

   irdb-get can list, search and download lirc remote configuration files.
   It works by downloading an index file, making  all  operations  besides
   the actual download local.

   Entries in the index are identified by an id. Such an id is on the form
   dir/remote e. g., x10/ati_remote_wonder_III

COMMANDS

   update
       Download the index from the remote repository.

   find <string>
       List all entries in the index file matching <string>.  Matching  is
       done using regular shell match syntax (i. e., not regex).

   find-driver <string>
       List  all entries in the index with a given driver. The matching is
       exact, no wildcards.

   info <id>
       Print some more info about a given entry.

   download <id>
       Download the configuration file for a given entry. The filename  is
       printed on stdout.

   list <pattern>
       List   entries   matching  <pattern>.  <pattern>  is  on  the  form
       dir/remote e. g., x10/ati* or */ati_remote_wonder* .

       The first word in the list is something like -RL- where the letters
       represent:

       R   Raw configuration.

       T   Remote  has  timing  information  i.  e.,  it  can be used with
           generic capture devices.

       L   Remote has a lircmd config file.

       P   Remote has a photo.

   yaml-config
       Prints a YAML file on stdout which maps  drivers  to  remote  files
       with  corresponding  driver  attribute.  The format is unstable and
       primarely used by lirc-setup(1).

OPTIONS

   -h , --help
       Print help message.

   -v , --version
       Print version info.

       The  base URL used  when  downloading  config  files,  defaults  to
       https://sourceforge.net/p/lirc-remotes/code/ci/master/tree.

   LIRC_REMOTES_LIST
       URL to a file listing all remotes, as created by lirc-lsremotes(1).
       Defaults to  http://lirc-remotes.sourceforge.net/remotes.list.

   XDG_CACHE_HOME
       If defined, relocates the cached, downloaded remotes  listing  file
       to $XDG_CACHE_HOME/remotes.list, see FILES.
