| The lircd userspace daemon reads raw IR data from the LIRC chardev. The |
| exact format of the data depends on what modes a driver supports, and |
| what mode has been selected. lircd obtains supported modes and sets the |
| active mode via the ioctl interface, detailed at :ref:`lirc_ioctl`. |
| The generally preferred mode is LIRC_MODE_MODE2, in which packets |
| containing an int value describing an IR signal are read from the |
| chardev. |
