Premise: All OS functionality is code
Conclusion: I must have a way to emulate said code.
I would like to figure out how to have the exact same brightening/dimming display mechanism currently mapped to F1/F2
on my keyboard but via Terminal
. I've googled and found a number of references to pmset
, which is fascinating, but not the same goal.
Any thoughts on bash/c++ or other cli-based tools I can use to dim or brighten my display in OSx 10.6.7?
F1
? It must be possible... or so I continue to stubbornly assume./path/to/brightness
just refers to where you install that program. This is your readily-available CLI call. Except for theIODisplaySetFloatParameterfunction
call (and determining which display, if it's not all of them) , it's all boilerplate code.
