NAME
irw - Send data from Unix domain socket to stdout
SYNOPSIS
irw [socket]
DESCRIPTION
irw will connect to any Unix domain socket and print the
received data to stdout. Without a socket argument it will watch
/var/run/lirc/lircd. Useful for debugging.
Options:
-
-h --help
-
Display usage summary
-
-v --version
-
Display version
SIGNALS
On receiving SIGUSR1 irw makes a clean exit.
NOTES
Since the lircd socket supports multiple clients, irw can run in
parallell with other applications.
irw does nothing more than dumps a unix-domain socket, a task which
many standard tools also can do. E. g., the ncat(1) tool can be
used instead of irw to provide more flexibility (but without any sane default
socket):
ncat -U /var/run/lirc/lircd
SEE ALSO
The documentation for lirc
is maintained as html pages. They are located under html/ in the
documentation directory.
