# NAME
`pylight` - A simple backlight controller written in Python.
# DESCRIPTION
`pylight` is a simple software written in Python to control backlights and other lights on GNU/Linux system with `xbacklight`-like options.
`pylight` works in a fully CLI environment, which does not require X to be running while `xbacklight` does.
# INSTALLATION
First, clone `pylight` repository.
``` sh
$ git clone https://github.com/akihironitta/pylight.git
$ cd pylight
```
To enable `pylight` running without root permission, place `90-backlight.rules` in one of the udev rules directories, e.g. `/etc/udev/rules.d/`.
``` sh
$ mv 90-backlight.rules /etc/udev/rules.d/
```
Rebooting the system may be required to apply this configuration depending on your system.
``` sh
$ sudo reboot
```
# OPTIONS
- `-max` set brightness to maximum value
- `-min` set brightness to minimum value (a quater of maximum value)
- `-set` set brightness to value
- `-inc` increase brightness by value
- `-dec` decrease brightness by value
# Usage

``` sh
pylight
```
Set to the specified brightness `100`.
``` sh
pylight -set 100
```
