# brightness

Changes brightness of all connected monitors in software. This is to be used in the case where `xbacklight` fails. 

It was designed to be bound to keyboard shortcuts.



## Examples

    brightness 75

    brightness -5

    brightness +10

## Usage

       brightess [n] [+n] [-n]

       n       An integer from 0 to 100 specifies a brightness level.

       +n      Increase brightness by n.

       -n      Decrease brightness by n.

               No argument shows current brightness level.

## Installation

1. wget https://github.com/hackerb9/brightness/raw/master/brightness

1. chmod 755 brightness

1. sudo mv brightness /usr/local/bin/

I've also written a program called [sarmad](https://github.com/hackerb9/sarmad) which works for external monitors using the built-in brightness keys on laptops. It monitors the brightness of the internal backlight and replicates that.
