is a package that supports receiving and sending IR signals of
the most common IR remote controls. It contains a device driver for
hardware connected to the serial port, a daemon that decodes and sends
IR signals using this device driver, a mouse daemon that translates IR
signals to mouse movements and a couple of user programs that allow to
control your computer with a remote control. The IR hardware can be
either selfmade or choosen from a variety of commercial solutions.
Takahide Higuchi wrote about LIRC: "It's great, and it seems almost
complete solution, but it seems there is almost nothing supporting
hardware on the market (or need to solder some special circuit ... it
is hard work for many people to do so). I believe that LIRC will be
more popular if consumer IR support is implemented in FastIR drivers
and some common API (for example, a raw IrSocket and common ioctls) is
made!".
