A super simple C program for controlling brightness in a Linux terminal.

First, configure and install the software, then run the blctrl command. A bar should appear that indicates the backlight percentage. You can use your arrow keys to move the bar, raising or lowering the brightness. You can also use number keys 0-9 to set the brightness to a certain percentage. Once you are done, you can press q to quit.

To install download and build the source code with the following commands:

git clone https://github.com/buzzqrd/blctrl

cd blctrl
make
sudo make install

If you have something to contribute or a change you want to make, just do it. Just keep in mind that has to be simple and efficient, sticking with the theme. If you see a way that the current code could be improved and made simpler, submit that too!
