+mode has been selected. lircd obtains supported modes and sets the active mode
+via the ioctl interface, detailed at <xref linkend="lirc_ioctl"/>. The generally
+preferred mode is LIRC_MODE_MODE2, in which packets containing an int value

+ <term>LIRC_GET_REC_RESOLUTION</term>
+ <listitem>
+ <para>Some receiver have maximum resolution which is defined by internal

+ <term>LIRC_GET_M{IN,AX}_TIMEOUT</term>
+ <listitem>
+ <para>Some devices have internal timers that can be used to detect when
+ there's no IR activity for a long time. This can help lircd in detecting
+ that a IR signal is finished and can speed up the decoding process.
+ Returns an integer value with the minimum/maximum timeout that can be

+ <term>LIRC_GET_M{IN,AX}_FILTER_{PULSE,SPACE}</term>
+ <listitem>
+ <para>Some devices are able to filter out spikes in the incoming signal

+ that describe the bounds of the possible filters. Filter settings depend

+ <para>This enables the given set of transmitters. The first transmitter
+ is encoded by the least significant bit, etc. When an invalid bit mask
+ is given, i.e. a bit is set, even though the device does not have so many
+ transitters, then this ioctl returns the number of available transitters
+ and does nothing otherwise.</para>

+ <term>LIRC_SET_REC_TIMEOUT</term>
+ <listitem>
+ <para>Sets the integer value for IR inactivity timeout (cf.
+ LIRC_GET_MIN_TIMEOUT and LIRC_GET_MAX_TIMEOUT). A value of 0 (if
+ supported by the hardware) disables all hardware timeouts and data should
+ be reported as soon as possible. If the exact value cannot be set, then
+ the next possible value _greater_ than the given value should be set.</para>
+ </listitem>
+ </varlistentry>
+ <varlistentry>
+ <term>LIRC_SET_REC_TIMEOUT_REPORTS</term>

+ <listitem>
+ <para>Pulses/spaces shorter than this are filtered out by hardware. If

+ <varlistentry>
+ <term>LIRC_SET_REC_{DUTY_CYCLE,CARRIER}_RANGE</term>
+ <listitem>
+ <para>To set a range use LIRC_SET_REC_DUTY_CYCLE_RANGE/LIRC_SET_REC_CARRIER_RANGE

+ with the upper bound.</para>
+ </listitem>
+ </varlistentry>
+ <varlistentry>
+ <term>LIRC_NOTIFY_DECODE</term>
+ <listitem>
+ <para>This ioctl is called by lircd whenever a successful decoding of an

+ to give visual feedback to the user e.g. by flashing a LED.</para>
+ </listitem>
+ </varlistentry>
+ <varlistentry>
+ <term>LIRC_SETUP_{START,END}</term>
+ <listitem>
+ <para>Setting of several driver parameters can be optimized by encapsulating
+ the according ioctl calls with LIRC_SETUP_START/LIRC_SETUP_END. When a
+ driver receives a LIRC_SETUP_START ioctl it can choose to not commit
+ further setting changes to the hardware until a LIRC_SETUP_END is received.
+ But this is open to the driver implementation and every driver must also
+ handle parameter changes which are not encapsulated by LIRC_SETUP_START
+ and LIRC_SETUP_END. Drivers can also choose to ignore these ioctls.</para>
+ </listitem>
+ </varlistentry>
+ <varlistentry>
+ <term>LIRC_SET_WIDEBAND_RECEIVER</term>
+ <listitem>
+ <para>Some receivers are equipped with special wide band receiver which is intended
+ to be used to learn output of existing remote.
+ Calling that ioctl with (1) will enable it, and with (0) disable it.
+ This might be useful of receivers that have otherwise narrow band receiver
+ that prevents them to be used with some remotes.
+ Wide band receiver might also be more precise
+ On the other hand its disadvantage it usually reduced range of reception.
+ Note: wide band receiver might be implictly enabled if you enable
+ carrier reports. In that case it will be disabled as soon as you disable
+ carrier reports. Trying to disable wide band receiver while carrier
+ reports are active will do nothing.</para>
