README

          
A simple tool suitable for adjusting external monitor's brightness.

Much faster than [ddcutil](https://github.com/rockowitz/ddcutil), still faster than [ddcset](https://github.com/arcnmx/ddcset-rs) which enumerates all monitors. And it matches monitor by the output name you see from xrandr / wayland-info output.

To install, install rust and run `cargo build --release` and find the binary in `target/release/`.

Usage:

```

monitor-control 0.2.0

The fastest way to get / set DDC values for a monitor

USAGE:

    monitor-control   [FEATURE_VALUE]

ARGS:

          output name such as DP-1

         feature code in decimal or 0xFF or FFh format

        value to be set; when not present show current value

OPTIONS:

    -h, --help       Print help information

    -V, --version    Print version information

```

E.g.

```sh

# get current and max brightness value

monitor-control DP-2 16

# set brightness to 50

monitor-control DP-2 16 50

```

Scripts to determine which monitor to adjust and show indicators like [wob](https://github.com/francma/wob) are left to other projects.
