\fBlircrc\fR - application-specific remotes signals configuration
.SH DESCRIPTION
.P
\fBlircrc\fR is the last LIRC configuration point in the
flow of events from the kernel to the application. It provides a way
to translate the application-agnostic events which \fIlircd\fR makes
available on \fI/var/run/lirc/lircd\fR to application-specific strings.
The translation is invoked by LIRC-aware applications by using the
the \fIlirc_code2char()\fR routine in the \fIlirc_client\fR
library.
.P
The lircrc event mapping is not only mapping from a remote event
to an application string. It also supports a variety of functionality
such as repeat suppression, modes, long keypresses and button sequences.
.P
The default location for lircrc is \fI~/.config/lircrc\fR with a global
fallback in \fI/etc/lirc/lircrc\fR. Many applications which
uses the lircrc translations have private locations for the file.
.P
The programmatic interface to the \fBlircrc\fR functionality is described
in the Client API manual, see below

The file format is described in the configuration manual, see below.
