NAME         top

       systemd-backlight@.service, systemd-backlight - Load and save the
       display backlight brightness at boot and shutdown

SYNOPSIS         top

       systemd-backlight@.service

       /usr/lib/systemd/systemd-backlight save [backlight|leds]:DEVICE

       /usr/lib/systemd/systemd-backlight load [backlight|leds]:DEVICE

DESCRIPTION         top

       systemd-backlight@.service is a service that restores the display
       backlight brightness at early boot and saves it at shutdown. On
       disk, the backlight brightness is stored in
       /var/lib/systemd/backlight/. During loading, if the udev property
       ID_BACKLIGHT_CLAMP is not set to false, the brightness is clamped
       to a value of at least 1 or 5% of maximum brightness, whichever
       is greater. This restriction will be removed when the kernel
       allows user space to reliably set a brightness value which does
       not turn off the display.

KERNEL COMMAND LINE         top

       systemd-backlight understands the following kernel command line
       parameter:

       systemd.restore_state=
           Takes a boolean argument. Defaults to "1". If "0", does not
           restore the backlight settings on boot. However, settings
           will still be stored on shutdown.
