![]() The lirc.h header has landed in the kernel, and the kernel docs has been updated all of which reflected in this patch. Here is still an open issue with duplicated info in the kernel docs and the manpage. Eventually, this should be addressed but I frankly don't know how. In the meantime, acknowledge the fact that the kernel docs is the ultimate source |

README
This package contains Linux man pages for sections 2, 3, 4, 5, and 7. Some more information is given in the `Announce' file. Install by copying to your favourite location. "make install" will just copy them to /usr/share/man/man[1-8]. To install to a path different from /usr use "make install prefix=/install/path". "make" will move the pages from this package that are older than the already installed ones to a subdirectory `not_installed', then remove old versions (compressed or not), compress the pages, and copy them to /usr/share/man/man[1-8]. Note that you may have to remove preformatted pages. Note that sometimes these pages are duplicates of pages also distributed in other packages. This has been reported about dlclose.3, dlerror.3, dlopen.3, dlsym.3 (found in ld.so), about resolver.3, resolv.conf.5 (found in bind-utils), and about passwd.5, and mailaddr.7. Be careful not to overwrite more up-to-date versions. Reports on further duplicates are welcome. Formerly present and now removed duplicates: exports.5 (found in nfs-server-2.2*), fstab.5, nfs.5 (found in util-linux-2.12*), lilo.8, lilo.conf.5 (found in lilo-21.6*). Copyrights: These man pages come under various copyrights. All pages are freely distributable when the nroff source is included.
