SYNOPSIS
ir-keytable [OPTION]... --device [/dev/input/event* device]ir-keytable [OPTION]... --sysdev [ir class (f. ex. rc0)]
ir-keytable [OPTION]... [for using the rc0 sysdev]
DESCRIPTION
ir-keytable is a tool that lists the Remote Controller devices, allows one to get/set IR keycode/scancode tables, test events generated by IR, and to adjust other Remote Controller options.Note: You need to have read permissions on /dev/input for most of the options to work.
OPTIONS
- -a, --auto-load=CFGFILE
- Auto-load a table, based on a configuration file. Only works with sysdev.
- -c, --clear
- clears the old table
- -d, --device=DEV
- ir device to control
- -D, --delay=DELAY
- Sets the delay before repeating a keystroke
- -k, --set-key=SCANKEY
- Change scan/key pairs
- -p, --protocol=PROTOCOL
- Protocol to enable (the other ones will be disabled). To enable more than one, use the option more than one time
- -P, --period=PERIOD
- Sets the period to repeat a keystroke
- -r, --read
- reads the current scancode/keycode table
- -s, --sysdev=SYSDEV
- ir class device to control
- -t, --test
- test if IR is generating events
- -v, --verbose
- enables debug messages
- -w, --write=TABLE
- write (adds) the scancodes to the device scancode/keycode table from the specified TABLE file
- -?, --help
- Prints the help message
- --usage
- Give a short usage message
- -V, --version
- print the v4l2-utils version
Mandatory or optional arguments to long options are also mandatory or optional for any corresponding short options. Options can be combined together.
The options arguments are:
- DEV
- the /dev/input/event* device to control
- SYSDEV
- the ir class as found at /sys/class/rc
- TABLE
- a file wit a set of scancode=keycode value pairs
- SCANKEY
- a set of scancode1=keycode1,scancode2=keycode2.. value pairs
- PROTOCOL
- protocol name to be enabled (case insensitive). Supported protocols are: NEC, RC-5, RC-6, JVC, SONY, SANYO, LIRC, RC-5-SZ, SHARP, MCE-KBD, XMP, other, all.
- DELAY
- Delay before repeating a keystroke
- PERIOD
- Period to repeat a keystroke
- CFGFILE
- configuration file that associates a driver/table name with a keymap file
EXIT STATUS
On success, it returns 0. Otherwise, it will return the error code.EXAMPLES
To list all connected Remote Controller devices:ir-keytable
To clean the keycode table and use a newer one:
ir-keytable -c -w /etc/rc_keymaps/nec_terratec_cinergy_xs
To append more codes to the existing table:
ir-keytable -w /etc/rc_keymaps/nec_terratec_cinergy_xs
To read the current keytable, on the second remote controller:
ir-keytable -s rc1 -r
