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.
