NAME
       irrecord - application for recording IR-codes for usage with LIRC

SYNOPSIS
       irrecord [options] file

DESCRIPTION
       This program will record the signals from your remote control and
       create a config file for lircd. A proper config file for lircd is maybe
       the most vital part of this package, so you should invest some time to
       create a working config file. Although I put a good deal of effort in
       this program it is often not possible to automatically recognize all
       features of a remote control.

       If the program fails to recognize the protocol of the remote control
       you should use the --force option to at least create a config file in
       raw mode.

       If file already exists and contains a valid config irrecord will use
       the protocol description found there and will only try to record the
       buttons. This is very useful if you want to learn a remote where config
       files of the same brand are already available. Of course this will only
       work if the remotes use the same protocol but it's worth a try. You
       will find template files for the most common protocols in the
       remotes/generic/ directory of this package. The name of the new file is
       created by appending .conf to the given filename in this case.
