👉 The word "lircd" appears to be a part of an IRC (Instant Message Relay Protocol) command that starts and ends a connection with another client, and is used in commands like `ls`, `sudo`, `ping`, etc., but without the `@` or `:` syntax. The "lircd.conf" file typically specifies various settings for different services that use lircd as its communication protocol. The word "lircd" itself appears to be a shortened version of "light reading interface", which is a term referring to the way light signals are encoded in a network, using the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) standard 473. The "lircd.conf" file may have been created for a specific application that requires encoding or decoding protocols similar to lircd's own.
