✨ LIRC_MAKE_DEVINPUT(1) ✨

okay so bestie, welcome to LIRC_MAKE_DEVINPUT(1) — the user commands corner of the manual, and today we're talking about a lil script that makes your remote config match your actual machine. no cap. 🎀

💖 NAME 💖

lirc-make-devinput — create a devinput.lircd.conf for the local site. that's it, that's the whole job description. 🫶

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

lirc-make-devinput [input.h]

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

  • input.h — the header file that gets parsed to create the configuration file. it's the raw material, the source of truth, the blueprint. give it a header, get a config. 💅

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

so here's the vibe: this thing reads the system header files and then creates a devinput.lircd.conf that matches the local system — meaning, like, the local kernel. it's bespoke. it's tailored. it's giving custom fit energy. 👑

normally it requires that the kernel-headers package is installed, so if it's acting up, check that first before you spiral. 😭

🌈 ENVIRONMENT 🌈

  • PYTHON — the Python interpreter. defaults to python. yes, just python, lowercase, no fancy version number, that's the default. 🐍

🎀 FILES 🎀

  • /usr/include/linux/input-event-codes.h — the default system header file. the main character. ⭐
  • /usr/include/linux/input.h — the alternative file used on older kernels. retro edition, for the elder machines. 🧚

🔥 SEE ALSO 🔥

the documentation for lirc is maintained as html pages. they're located under html/ in the documentation directory. go read them, they're good for you, i promise. 📚

ngl bestie, if you just want the config and you don't care how the sausage gets made, run it and move on. but now you know, and knowing is iconic. 💖
