llight

Simple alternative to xbacklight. Control screen brightness on linux.

Why

My laptop do not work with the default xbacklight. Kept searching for a solution but found nothing. So I decidedd to code my own.

How to use

Download the source code from the realeses page or clone the repository. Give executable permissions to llight

chmod +x src/llight

Move it to your common PATH

mv src/llight.sh /bin/ # or /sbin/ or /opt/

Restart your shell, and you're good to go!

reset

llight [flags]

What I learned

llight was a really quick project but I learned some stuff

• Bash
• Linux kernel structure (basic, I head to read a bunch of documents to find out what file should I change so the brightness would also change as well)
