How to get human-readable key mappings from an fcfg file

[rsbrux]

I need to check the key mappings in a few different fcfg files. It seems that the flirc-util application is capable of listing the key mappings from an attached FLIRC USB, but the USB is attached to another system, from which I don't want to remove it, save its configuration, load each of the fcfg files in turn to dump the mappings, restore the original configuration and then return the USB to the system which uses it. How can I extract the key mapping in human readable form from the fcfg files?

It’s a binary table and I’ll turn it into JSON With the next major update. For now you can use this: https://flirc.io/config/

Upload it to that and you can read it. You wont be able to edit it though. But you can make sense of it.
