l1ght

This is a small cli, which lets you control the brightness of your laptop screen.

Motivation

I mainly wrote this because xbacklight, stopped working on my fresh Debian install for some reason, sadly I could not fix it. So I was looking for a alternative and learned some stuff about, how linux handles that kind of stuff.

I am well aware that there are better alternatives, but I kind of wanted to write something myself, mainly as an exercise and also for the lulz.
