blctl
This tool is used to control device backlights on linux, through /sys
interface.
Building
Just type make :)
Or, for an out-of-tree build:

cd build
make -f ../Makefile
You will need GNU make for this.

make install will install everything to /usr/local. You can specify the
prefix with make PREFIX=/usr install.
