Detailed Description

Python access to the configuration data.

The database is loaded from some YAML files:

• kernel-drivers.yaml: Static Info on the kernel drivers. Availability of these drivers is checked in runtime before being imported into db.
• drivers.yaml, Info on the userspace drivers, collected from their compiled information by configs/Makefile using lirc-lsplugins(1).
• confs_by_driver.yaml: Mapping of drivers -> suggested remote files, created by configs/Makefile using irdb-get.

The directory used to load these files is (first match used):

• Current directory
• The 'configs' dir.
• The ../../configs

Although python cannot guarantee this, the database is designed as a read-only structure.

Simple usage examples lives in doc/: data2hwdb and data2table. The lirc-setup script provides a more elaborated example. Data structures are basically documented in the yaml files.
