media: lirc: implement scancode sending
This introduces a new lirc mode: scancode. Any device which can send raw IR can now also send scancodes. int main() { int mode, fd = open("/dev/lirc0", O_RDWR); mode = LIRC_MODE_SCANCODE; if (ioctl(fd, LIRC_SET_SEND_MODE, &mode)) { // kernel too old or lirc does not support transmit } struct lirc_scancode scancode = { .scancode = 0x1e3d, .rc_proto = RC_PROTO_RC5, }; write(fd, &scancode, sizeof(scancode)); close(fd); } The other fields of lirc_scancode must be set to 0. Note that toggle (rc5, rc6) and repeats (nec) are not implemented. Nor is there a method for holding down a key for a period.
