+Introduction
+************
+
+LIRC stands for Linux Infrared Remote Control. The LIRC device interface is
+a bi-directional interface for transporting raw IR and decoded scancodes
+data between userspace and kernelspace. Fundamentally, it is just a chardev
+(/dev/lircX, for X = 0, 1, 2, ...), with a number of standard struct
+file_operations defined on it. With respect to transporting raw IR and
+decoded scancodes to and fro, the essential fops are read, write and ioctl.
+
+Example dmesg output upon a driver registering w/LIRC:
+
+.. code-block:: none
+
+ $ dmesg |grep lirc_dev
+ rc rc0: lirc_dev: driver mceusb registered at minor = 0, raw IR receiver, raw IR transmitter
+
+What you should see for a chardev:
+
+.. code-block:: none
+
+ $ ls -l /dev/lirc*
+ crw-rw---- 1 root root 248, 0 Jul 2 22:20 /dev/lirc0
+
+.. _lirc_modes:
+
+**********
+LIRC modes
+**********
+
+LIRC supports some modes of receiving and sending IR codes, as shown
+on the following table.
+
+.. _lirc-mode-scancode:
+.. _lirc-scancode-flag-toggle:
+.. _lirc-scancode-flag-repeat:
+
+``LIRC_MODE_SCANCODE``
+
+ This mode is for both sending and receiving IR.
+
+ For transmitting (aka sending), create a ``struct lirc_scancode`` with
+ the desired scancode set in the ``scancode`` member, :c:type:`rc_proto`
+ set the IR protocol, and all other members set to 0. Write this struct to
+ the lirc device.
+
+ For receiving, you read ``struct lirc_scancode`` from the lirc device,
+ with ``scancode`` set to the received scancode and the IR protocol
+ :c:type:`rc_proto`. If the scancode maps to a valid key code, this is set
+ in the ``keycode`` field, else it is set to ``KEY_RESERVED``.
+
+ The ``flags`` can have ``LIRC_SCANCODE_FLAG_TOGGLE`` set if the toggle
+ bit is set in protocols that support it (e.g. rc-5 and rc-6), or
+ ``LIRC_SCANCODE_FLAG_REPEAT`` for when a repeat is received for protocols
+ that support it (e.g. nec).
+
+ In the Sanyo and NEC protocol, if you hold a button on remote, rather than
+ repeating the entire scancode, the remote sends a shorter message with
+ no scancode, which just means button is held, a "repeat". When this is
+ received, the ``LIRC_SCANCODE_FLAG_REPEAT`` is set and the scancode and
+ keycode is repeated.
+
+ With nec, there is no way to distinguish "button hold" from "repeatedly
+ pressing the same button". The rc-5 and rc-6 protocols have a toggle bit.
+ When a button is released and pressed again, the toggle bit is inverted.
+ If the toggle bit is set, the ``LIRC_SCANCODE_FLAG_TOGGLE`` is set.
+
+ The ``timestamp`` field is filled with the time nanoseconds
+ (in ``CLOCK_MONOTONIC``) when the scancode was decoded.
+
+.. _lirc-mode-mode2:
+
+``LIRC_MODE_MODE2``
+
+ The driver returns a sequence of pulse and space codes to userspace,
+ as a series of u32 values.
+
+ This mode is used only for IR receive.
+
+ The upper 8 bits determine the packet type, and the lower 24 bits
+ the payload. Use ``LIRC_VALUE()`` macro to get the payload, and
+ the macro ``LIRC_MODE2()`` will give you the type, which
+ is one of:
+
+ ``LIRC_MODE2_PULSE``
+
+ Signifies the presence of IR in microseconds.
+
+ ``LIRC_MODE2_SPACE``
+
+ Signifies absence of IR in microseconds.
+
+ ``LIRC_MODE2_FREQUENCY``
+
+ If measurement of the carrier frequency was enabled with
+ :ref:`lirc_set_measure_carrier_mode` then this packet gives you
+ the carrier frequency in Hertz.
+
+ ``LIRC_MODE2_TIMEOUT``
+
+ If timeout reports are enabled with
+ :ref:`lirc_set_rec_timeout_reports`, when the timeout set with
+ :ref:`lirc_set_rec_timeout` expires due to no IR being detected,
+ this packet will be sent, with the number of microseconds with
+ no IR.
+
+.. _lirc-mode-pulse:
+
+``LIRC_MODE_PULSE``
+
+ In pulse mode, a sequence of pulse/space integer values are written to the
+ lirc device using :ref:`lirc-write`.
+
+ The values are alternating pulse and space lengths, in microseconds. The
+ first and last entry must be a pulse, so there must be an odd number
+ of entries.
+
+ This mode is used only for IR send.

+Description
+===========
+
+Some receivers have maximum resolution which is defined by internal

+
+Some devices have internal timers that can be used to detect when

+.. code-block:: c
+
+ #include <unistd.h>
+
+
+.. c:function:: ssize_t read( int fd, void *buf, size_t count )
+ :name: lirc-read
+
+
+Arguments
+=========
+
+``fd``
+ File descriptor returned by ``open()``.
+
+``buf``
+ Buffer to be filled
+
+``count``
+ Max number of bytes to read
+
+Description
+===========
+
+:ref:`read() <lirc-read>` attempts to read up to ``count`` bytes from file
+descriptor ``fd`` into the buffer starting at ``buf``. If ``count`` is zero,
+:ref:`read() <lirc-read>` returns zero and has no other results. If ``count``
+is greater than ``SSIZE_MAX``, the result is unspecified.
+
+The exact format of the data depends on what :ref:`lirc_modes` a driver
+uses. Use :ref:`lirc_get_features` to get the supported mode, and use
+:ref:`lirc_set_rec_mode` set the current active mode.
+
+The mode :ref:`LIRC_MODE_MODE2 <lirc-mode-mode2>` is for raw IR,
+in which packets containing an unsigned int value describing an IR signal are
+read from the chardev.
+
+Alternatively, :ref:`LIRC_MODE_SCANCODE <lirc-mode-scancode>` can be available,
+in this mode scancodes which are either decoded by software decoders, or
+by hardware decoders. The :c:type:`rc_proto` member is set to the
+protocol used for transmission, and ``scancode`` to the decoded scancode,
+and the ``keycode`` set to the keycode or ``KEY_RESERVED``.
+
+
+Return Value
+============
+
+On success, the number of bytes read is returned. It is not an error if
+this number is smaller than the number of bytes requested, or the amount
+of data required for one frame. On error, -1 is returned, and the ``errno``
+variable is set appropriately.

+Introduction
+************
+
+Currently, most analog and digital devices have a Infrared input for
+remote controllers. Each manufacturer has their own type of control. It
+is not rare for the same manufacturer to ship different types of
+controls, depending on the device.
+
+A Remote Controller interface is mapped as a normal evdev/input
+interface, just like a keyboard or a mouse. So, it uses all ioctls
+already defined for any other input devices.
+
+However, remove controllers are more flexible than a normal input
+device, as the IR receiver (and/or transmitter) can be used in
+conjunction with a wide variety of different IR remotes.
+
+In order to allow flexibility, the Remote Controller subsystem allows
+controlling the RC-specific attributes via
+:ref:`the sysfs class nodes <remote_controllers_sysfs_nodes>`.

+*******************************
+Remote Controller's sysfs nodes
+*******************************
+
+As defined at ``Documentation/ABI/testing/sysfs-class-rc``, those are
+the sysfs nodes that control the Remote Controllers:
+
+
+.. _sys_class_rc:
+
+/sys/class/rc/
+==============
+
+The ``/sys/class/rc/`` class sub-directory belongs to the Remote
+Controller core and provides a sysfs interface for configuring infrared
+remote controller receivers.
+
+
+.. _sys_class_rc_rcN:
+
+/sys/class/rc/rcN/
+==================
+
+A ``/sys/class/rc/rcN`` directory is created for each remote control
+receiver device where N is the number of the receiver.
+
+
+.. _sys_class_rc_rcN_protocols:
+
+/sys/class/rc/rcN/protocols
+===========================
+
+Reading this file returns a list of available protocols, something like::
+
+ rc5 [rc6] nec jvc [sony]
+
+Enabled protocols are shown in [] brackets.
+
+Writing "+proto" will add a protocol to the list of enabled protocols.
+
+Writing "-proto" will remove a protocol from the list of enabled
+protocols.
+
+Writing "proto" will enable only "proto".
+
+Writing "none" will disable all protocols.
+
+Write fails with ``EINVAL`` if an invalid protocol combination or unknown
+protocol name is used.
+
+
+.. _sys_class_rc_rcN_filter:
+
+/sys/class/rc/rcN/filter
+========================
+
+Sets the scancode filter expected value.
+
+Use in combination with ``/sys/class/rc/rcN/filter_mask`` to set the
+expected value of the bits set in the filter mask. If the hardware
+supports it then scancodes which do not match the filter will be
+ignored. Otherwise the write will fail with an error.
+
+This value may be reset to 0 if the current protocol is altered.
+
+
+.. _sys_class_rc_rcN_filter_mask:
+
+/sys/class/rc/rcN/filter_mask
+=============================
+
+Sets the scancode filter mask of bits to compare. Use in combination
+with ``/sys/class/rc/rcN/filter`` to set the bits of the scancode which
+should be compared against the expected value. A value of 0 disables the
+filter to allow all valid scancodes to be processed.
+
+If the hardware supports it then scancodes which do not match the filter
+will be ignored. Otherwise the write will fail with an error.
+
+This value may be reset to 0 if the current protocol is altered.
+
+
+.. _sys_class_rc_rcN_wakeup_protocols:
+
+/sys/class/rc/rcN/wakeup_protocols
+==================================
+
+Reading this file returns a list of available protocols to use for the
+wakeup filter, something like::
+
+ rc-5 nec nec-x rc-6-0 rc-6-6a-24 [rc-6-6a-32] rc-6-mce
+
+Note that protocol variants are listed, so ``nec``, ``sony``, ``rc-5``, ``rc-6``
+have their different bit length encodings listed if available.
+
+Note that all protocol variants are listed.
+
+The enabled wakeup protocol is shown in [] brackets.
+
+Only one protocol can be selected at a time.
+
+Writing "proto" will use "proto" for wakeup events.
+
+Writing "none" will disable wakeup.
+
+Write fails with ``EINVAL`` if an invalid protocol combination or unknown
+protocol name is used, or if wakeup is not supported by the hardware.
+
+
+.. _sys_class_rc_rcN_wakeup_filter:
+
+/sys/class/rc/rcN/wakeup_filter
+===============================
+
+Sets the scancode wakeup filter expected value. Use in combination with
+``/sys/class/rc/rcN/wakeup_filter_mask`` to set the expected value of
+the bits set in the wakeup filter mask to trigger a system wake event.
+
+If the hardware supports it and wakeup_filter_mask is not 0 then
+scancodes which match the filter will wake the system from e.g. suspend
+to RAM or power off. Otherwise the write will fail with an error.
+
+This value may be reset to 0 if the wakeup protocol is altered.
+
+
+.. _sys_class_rc_rcN_wakeup_filter_mask:
+
+/sys/class/rc/rcN/wakeup_filter_mask
+====================================
+
+Sets the scancode wakeup filter mask of bits to compare. Use in
+combination with ``/sys/class/rc/rcN/wakeup_filter`` to set the bits of
+the scancode which should be compared against the expected value to
+trigger a system wake event.

+scancodes which match the filter will wake the system from e.g. suspend
+to RAM or power off. Otherwise the write will fail with an error.

+
+Unfortunately, for several years, there was no effort to create uniform
+IR keycodes for different devices. This caused the same IR keyname to be
+mapped completely differently on different IR devices. This resulted
+that the same IR keyname to be mapped completely different on different
+IR's. Due to that, V4L2 API now specifies a standard for mapping Media
+keys on IR.
+
+This standard should be used by both V4L/DVB drivers and userspace
+applications
+
+The modules register the remote as keyboard within the linux input
+layer. This means that the IR key strokes will look like normal keyboard
+key strokes (if CONFIG_INPUT_KEYBOARD is enabled). Using the event
+devices (CONFIG_INPUT_EVDEV) it is possible for applications to access
+the remote via /dev/input/event devices.
