how to write a lirc client

[JPT <j....@gm...>]

hi!

could someone explain to me, how i have to write a lirc client?

ehm. I want to try it with freepascal.

that should be possible, eh?

but at the time, i do not know, how...
I found lirc_client. Does it contain routines all clients need, when
connecting to lircd?
Do i really need them?
I thought, i only have to open /dev/lircd like any other file?!?

do you have any hint?


I just tried
h2pas lircd_client.h
but h2pas aborts on line 70:
int lirc_readconfig (char *file, struct lirc_config **config, int (check)
(char *s));

the (char *s) seems to be the problem?!?!
Do you have any idea what could cause the chrash? I'm not very familiar with
c ;-)
Could someone translate this parameterlist into a human-readable format? ;-)
