NAME
irtext2udp - Convert pulse/space text data to binary UDP driver format
SYNOPSIS
irtext2udp [-r resolution] [file]
DESCRIPTION
irtext2udp is a filter converting pulse/space printable data
such as generated by mode2(1) to the binary format
used by the LIRC udp driver.
The file argument is a textfile with pulse/space data. If not given, standard
input is used. Lines not starting with space or pulse are
silently ignored.
The normal usage pattern is to combine irtext2udp with standard tools
such as socat(1) to send the binary data to a lircd
instance using the udp driver.
OPTIONS
-
-r, --resolution <resolution>
-
Udp packages are measured in ticks. The length of each tick is defined
by the resolution. The default value is 61, computed as 1000000/16384 and
corresponding to 1/16384 seconds. This is derived from old designs using a
32 kHz clock.
-
-v , --version
-
Print version and exit.
-
-h , --help
-
Print help message.
EXAMPLES
Using socat(1) to send data to a lircd instance using the udp driver
listening on the default udp port 8765 on localhost:
irtext2udp < input-file | nc --udp localhost 8765
irtext2udp < input-file | socat STDIN UDP:localhost:8765
