NAME

   irpty - Pseudo tty driver.

SYNOPSIS

   irpty [options] config_file -- program [args ...]

DESCRIPTION

   irpty  connects to lircd to receive infrared codes and converts them to
   key strokes. E.g. type irpty ~/.config/lircrc --  workbone  to  control
   the  CD-player  program  workbone. Of course you will have to create an
   appropriate config file for this purpose first. The config string  will
   be  passed  to  the  desired  application. Note that you can use escape
   sequences to specify non printable  characters.  Have  a  look  at  the
   .lircrc file format description for details.
