Two lirc_client readers with mutually exclusive need

[Brian J. M. <lir...@in...>]

I am writing an application that is driven by lirc using the
lirc_client library.  At some point my application fires
(fork/exec/wait) off another application which is driven by lirc.

The problem is that all of the lirc commands (keypresses) that I issue
to the second application get buffered up for the first application
and when the second application finishes, the first application gets a
rush of lirc commands on it's next lirc_nextcode().

I suppose I could rewrite the first application to read the keypresses
for the second application and drive it that way, but it would be nice
to have a function in lirc_client to flush the buffer of lirc
commands before the next lirc_nextcode().

Maybe it exists, I couldn't find it.
