.SH DESCRIPTION
.P
\fBirsimsend\fR is a simple test tool which given a lircd configuration
file will send all keys defined in that file, the keys listed in
another file or a symbol defined on the command line.
.PP
The program uses the file driver to log all sent data (pulses/spaces
durations) into a file 'simsend.out'. The symbols sent are printed on
stdout.

\fB-l,--listfile\fR  <\fIpath\fR>
Send symbols listed in file instead of just the symbols in the config

Send a single key symbol defined in \fIfile\fR.

Debug log. Setting the XDG_CACHE_HOME environment variable relocates this
file to $XDG_CACHE_HOME/irsimsend.log. The amount of logging respects the
LIRC_LOGLEVEL environment variable, defaulting to the \fidebug\fR value
in the\fi[lircd]\fR section of lirc_options.conf.
