💖 BLIGHT(1) — the backlight bestie manual 💖

okay so welcome to the blight page in the General Commands Manual, bestie. this is the whole entire lore, no skips, no skimming. let's go 🦋

✨ NAME ✨

blight — hassle-free CLI backlight utility for Linux 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

blight [options] command [value]

that's it. that's the whole vibe. 👑

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

This manual page documents the blight program.

blight is a hassle-free CLI utility to manage backlight on Linux; one that plays well with hybrid GPU configuration and proprietary drivers. fr fr, it just works 😭✨

✨ FLAGS ✨

  • -s, --sweep — lets you increase brightness gradually, so the change is smooth and gorgeous instead of a jump-scare. only usable with the inc and dec commands tho, don't get cute with it. 🎀
  • -d, --device <name> — lets you point at a backlight device target that isn't the default one. only usable with inc, dec, set, save and status — those are the only commands that will entertain it. 💫

✨ COMMANDS ✨

  • inc <value> [-s | --sweep] [-d | --device <name>] — increase brightness by the given value. up up up, main character energy ⬆️🔥
  • dec <value> [-s | --sweep] [-d | --device <name>] — decrease brightness by the given value. dim it down, cozy era 🕯️💜
  • set <value> [-d | --device <name>] — set brightness to the given value. exact number, no games, periodt. ⭐
  • save [-d | --device <name>] — save the current brightness value so you can restore it later. little time capsule 🫶
  • restore — restore the saved brightness value. the time capsule opens 📦✨
  • setup — install udev rules and add user to video group. run with sudo 👑 (yes, actually, it means it)
  • status [-d | --device <name>] — show backlight device status. vibe check on your screen 🌈
  • list — list all backlight devices. every single one, named and shamed (affectionately) 📋💖
  • help — display help. when in doubt, ask the manual, bestie 🙈
