<title>Description</title>
<para><filename>systemd-backlight@.service</filename> 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 <filename>/var/lib/systemd/backlight/</filename>. During
loading, if the udev property <option>ID_BACKLIGHT_CLAMP</option> 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.</para>
