Module: LIRC::Messages

Defined in:

lib/lirc/messages.rb,
lib/lirc/messages/response_parser.rb

Overview

LIRC has three kinds of messages.

ButtonPresses are sent by LIRCD to a LIRC client - these notify the client

that LIRCD has received an IR button press from some remote.

Commands are sent by a LIRC client to LIRCD to get it to do something (e.g.

transmit an IR button press, or send back a Response containing a list of
remotes it supports)

Responses are sent by LIRCD to a LIRC client - usually in response to a

Command (hence the name), but there is a special type - SIGHUP - which is
sent whenever the LIRCD process receives a SIGHUP

To make life easier (if not the conceptual model of this library) - the Messages module deals with ButtonPresses and Responses (things received from LIRCD), but Commands live in their own LIRC::Commands module
