Set Linux display brightness from console=========================================The ``backlight`` program is a commandline interface to adjust your linux lcdpanels brightness through the linux kernel sys interface.. contents:: :local:Installation------------The ``sys_backlight`` package is written in Python and isavailable on PyPI_ which means installation should be as simple as:: $ pip install sys_backlightGetting started---------------The ``sys_backlight`` package can be configured with a configuration filein the ini format. Here is a example of a config file:.. code-block:: ini # Default variables [DEFAULT] StepRelative = 2 StepAbsolute = 10 MinBrightness = 2 MaxBrightness = 100The configuration file is loaded from the following location:- ``~/.conf/backlight.ini``The structure of the configuration file is as follows:- The ``[DEFAULT]`` section has four items, all of which are optional (``StepRelative``, ``StepAbsolute``, ``MinBrightness``, and ``MaxBrightness``).- Currently two types of brightness control are supported: 1. The physical brightness of the backlight of laptop screens. This uses the Linux sysfs_ virtual file system's `/sys/class/backlight`_ interface to control backlight brightness. The only required item is ``sys-directory`` which is expected to contain the absolute pathname of the directory that controls the backlight brightness of your laptop screen (you'll have to figure this out for yourself).Contact-------The latest version of ``sys_backlight`` is available on PyPI_and GitHub_.
