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

## SYNOPSIS
       systemd-backlight@.service

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

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

## DESCRIPTION
       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. The percentage can be adjusted by specifying a percentage (needs to be
       suffixed with "%", e.g.  "30%") to the property **ID_BACKLIGHT_CLAMP**.

## KERNEL COMMAND LINE
       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.

           Added in version 209.
