Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist * Package name : backlightctl Upstream Author : P "hellerbarde" Stark * URL : https://github.com/hellerbarde/backlightctl * License : MIT/X Programming Lang: C Description : Lightweight monitor backlight control utility
Really lightweight (<100 SLOC) monitor backlight control utility written in C that directly writes to the /sys/ filesystem. The config file is read from /etc/backlightctl.conf. It must contain exactly 2 lines. The first one points to the file controlling the brightness. The second line points to the file containing the maximal brightness. Upstream ships no formal release yet; it's been sitting in a github git repo since 2012. There's a cmake buildsystem supplied. No upstream manpage yet. I like it since it's pretty small and does _just_ what's needed; nothing more. Bye, Joost
