Name

|
|
|
lirc-read - Read from a LIRC device
|
|
|
|
|
|
Synopsis
|
|
========
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: c
|
|
|
|
#include <unistd.h>
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. c:function:: ssize_t read( int fd, void *buf, size_t count )
|
|
|
|
|
|
Arguments
|
|
=========
|
|
|
|
``fd``
|
|
File descriptor returned by ``open()``.
|
|
|
|
``buf``
|
|
``count``
|
|
|
|
|
|
Description
|
|
===========
|
|
|
|
:ref:`read() <lirc-read>` attempts to read up to ``count`` bytes from file
|
|
descriptor ``fd`` into the buffer starting at ``buf``. If ``count`` is zero,
|
|
:ref:`read() <lirc-read>` returns zero and has no other results. If ``count``
|
|
is greater than ``SSIZE_MAX``, the result is unspecified.
|
|
|
|
The lircd userspace daemon reads raw IR data from the LIRC chardev. The
|
|
exact format of the data depends on what modes a driver supports, and
|
|
what mode has been selected. lircd obtains supported modes and sets the
|
|
active mode via the ioctl interface, detailed at :ref:`lirc_func`.
|
|
The generally preferred mode for receive is
|
|
:ref:`LIRC_MODE_MODE2 <lirc-mode-mode2>`, in which packets containing an
|
|
int value describing an IR signal are read from the chardev.

Return Value
|
|
============
|
|
|
|
On success, the number of bytes read is returned. It is not an error if
|
|
this number is smaller than the number of bytes requested, or the amount
|
|
of data required for one frame. On error, -1 is returned, and the ``errno``
|
|
variable is set appropriately.
