SYNOPSIS

       rc DIRECTIVE REMOTE CODE [CODE...]

DESCRIPTION

       Asks  the  lircd  daemon to send one or more CIR (Consumer
       Infra-Red) commands. This is intended for  remote  control
       of electronic devices such as TV boxes, HiFi sets, etc.

       DIRECTIVE can be:
          SEND_ONCE    - send CODE [CODE ...] once

          SEND_STOP    - stop repeating CODE
          LIST         - list configured remote items

       REMOTE is the name of a remote, as described in the lircd
              configuration file.

       CODE is the name of a remote control key of REMOTE, as it
              appears in the lircd configuration file.

       For the LIST DIRECTIVE, REMOTE and/or CODE can be empty:

          LIST   ""    ""   - list all configured remote names
          LIST REMOTE  ""   - list all codes of REMOTE
          LIST REMOTE CODE  - list only CODE of REMOTE

       -h --help
