CONFIG_LIRC: LIRC user interface

General informations

The Linux kernel configuration item CONFIG_LIRC has multiple definitions:

LIRC user interface found in drivers/media/rc/Kconfig

The configuration item CONFIG_LIRC:

• prompt: LIRC user interface
• type: bool
• depends on: (none)
• defined in drivers/media/rc/Kconfig
• found in Linux kernels: 4.16–4.20, 5.0–5.19, 6.0–6.8, 6.9-rc+HEAD
• modules built: lirc_dev, lirc_dev

Help text

Enable this option to enable the Linux Infrared Remote Control user interface (e.g. /dev/lirc*). This interface passes raw IR to and from userspace, which is needed for IR transmitting (aka "blasting") and for the lirc daemon.

LIRC interface driver found in drivers/media/rc/Kconfig

The configuration item CONFIG_LIRC:

• prompt: LIRC interface driver
• type: tristate
• depends on: CONFIG_RC_CORE
• defined in drivers/media/rc/Kconfig
• found in Linux kernels: 3.6–3.19, 4.0–4.15
• modules built: lirc_dev, lirc_dev

Help text

Enable this option to build the Linux Infrared Remote Control (LIRC) core device interface driver. The LIRC interface passes raw IR to and from userspace, where the LIRC daemon handles protocol decoding for IR reception and encoding for IR transmitting (aka "blasting").

The configuration item CONFIG_LIRC:

• prompt:

• defined in drivers/media/rc/Kconfig
• found in Linux kernels: 2.6.38–2.6.39, 3.0–3.5
• modules built: lirc_dev, lirc_dev
