 When in :ref:`LIRC_MODE_PULSE <lirc-mode-PULSE>` mode, the data written to
 the chardev is a pulse/space sequence of integer values. Pulses and spaces
 are only marked implicitly by their position. The data must start and end
 with a pulse, therefore, the data must always include an uneven number of
-samples. The write function must block until the data has been transmitted
+samples. The write function blocks until the data has been transmitted
 by the hardware. If more data is provided than the hardware can send, the
 driver returns ``EINVAL``.
 
+When in :ref:`LIRC_MODE_SCANCODE <lirc-mode-scancode>` mode, one
+``struct lirc_scancode`` must be written to the chardev at a time, else
+``EINVAL`` is returned. Set the desired scancode in the ``scancode`` member,
+and the protocol in the :c:type:`rc_proto`: member. All other members must be
+set to 0, else ``EINVAL`` is returned. If there is no protocol encoder
+for the protocol or the scancode is not valid for the specified protocol,
+``EINVAL`` is returned. The write function blocks until the scancode
+is transmitted by the hardware.

+On success, the number of bytes written is returned. It is not an error if
 this number is smaller than the number of bytes requested, or the amount
 of data required for one frame.  On error, -1 is returned, and the ``errno``
 variable is set appropriately. The generic error codes are described at the
