lirc is a C library. lirc has no bugs, it has no vulnerabilities and it has low support. However lirc has a Non-SPDX License. You can download it from GitHub.

LIRC is a package that allows you to decode and send infra-red signals of many (but not all) commonly used remote controls. Pre-release versions are currently available at the LIRC homepage: Former versions focused on home-brew hardware connected to the serial or parallel port. Descriptions how to build this hardware can be found on the LIRC homepage. Current versions of LIRC also support a variety of other hardware. An up-to-date list of all supported devices and the status of the according drivers is available on the LIRC homepage. The most important part of LIRC is the lircd daemon which decodes IR signals received by the device drivers and provides the information on a socket. It also accepts commands for IR signals to be sent if the hardware supports this. The user space applications will allow you to control your computer with your remote control. You can send X events to applications, start programs and much more on just one button press. The possible applications are obvious: Infra-red mouse, remote control for your TV tuner card or CD-ROM, shutdown by remote, program your VCR and/or satellite tuner with your computer, etc. Since some time some of the LIRC functionality has been moved to the kernel. However, LIRC still adds functionality and flexibility to the basic kernel IR remote handling.
