SYNOPSIS

       ircat [options] <prog>

DESCRIPTION

       file.

       The  argument  to the program is the program name, as it appears in the
       prog entries in .lircrc.

       -v --version
              display version

       -c --config=<file>
              set config file

EXAMPLES

       If .lircrc contains:

       begin
            prog = myprog
            button = tv_p+
            config = next_file
       end

       then

       $ ircat myprog

       will print "next_file" (followed by  newline)  every  time  the  button
       tv_p+ is pressed.
