Description: library for accessing the IRMAN hardware
libirman is a library for accessing the IRMAN hardware from Linux and other
Unix systems.
.
For general applications programming, the preferred interface for infra-red
control is `lirc', as lirc supports multiple programs sharing the same
infra-red receiver. It does this by providing a socket based interface to
which several programs can connect.
.
lirc uses libirman to interface with the Irman hardware, so in single use
applications directly using libirman is simpler and uses less system
resources. Currently, lirc only works on Linux systems, so programs written
using libirman directly are more portable.
.
NOTE: This debian package is mainly provided so that Irman support can be
enabled in lirc package and there is no libirman0 because upstream doesn't
build a shared library.
