I have written a Python class that wraps the communication with the IRMan device using the serial module in python.

You can download the code here.

We basically do the same thing in the code that we did in minicom.

You can also install the "libirman-dev" package for your distro which includes the libirman libraries which allow you to access the IRMan device using C or C++. Once installed, look in the directory /usr/share/doc/libirman-dev/examples (or similar) and look at the sample programs to get started.
