SYNOPSIS

DESCRIPTION

   A  simple  GUI  tool which creates a lirc configuration after some user

   results  are  written  as  separate files in the output directory which
   defaults to lirc-setup.conf.d

FILES

   configs
       The lirc hardware database. By default the file is searched for  in
       ., .., /usr/share/lirc and the dir where lirc-setup lives.  configs
       is a directory with a separate file for each meny entry.   See  the
       configs/README.

   lirc-setup.conf.d
       The  output  directory.  On  normal  exits this contains at least a
       lircd.conf  and  lirc_options.conf  file.  Optional   files   lirc-
       modprobe.conf and lircmd.conf

   Several  other  support  files  are downloaded from the lirc website as
   part of the configuration process.
