STRUCT LIRC_SCANCODE(9)

🌸 NAME 🌸

okay so bestie, this is struct lirc_scancode(9), straight from the Kernel API Manual, and it is literally the decoded scancode with protocol for use with LIRC_MODE_SCANCODE. That’s the whole assignment. 💅✨

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

struct lirc_scancode {
    __u64 timestamp;
    __u16 flags;
    __u16 rc_proto;
    __u32 keycode;
    __u64 scancode;
};

💖 Members 💖

• timestamp — the timestamp in nanoseconds using CLOCK_MONOTONIC for when the IR was decoded. Nanoseconds, bestie — it’s giving precise. ⏱️
• flags — this should be 0 for transmit. When receiving scancodes, LIRC_SCANCODE_FLAG_TOGGLE or LIRC_SCANCODE_FLAG_REPEAT can be set depending on the protocol. Protocol-dependent behavior, no cap. 🚩
• rc_proto — see enum rc_proto. 👀
• keycode — the translated keycode. Set it to 0 for transmit. 🎹
• scancode — the scancode received or to be sent. 📡

🌈 SEE ALSO 🌈

• Kernel file ./include/uapi/linux/lirc.h
