systemd-backlight@.service is a service that restores the brightness of a display backlight or LED (e.g.
keyboard backlight) device at early boot, and saves it at shutdown. The brightness is stored in
/var/lib/systemd/backlight/.
On restoring brightness of a display backlight device, systemd-backlight reads ID_BACKLIGHT_CLAMP udev
property, that takes a boolean value or a percentage (needs to be suffixed with "%", e.g. "30%"). When a
percentage is specified, the saved brightness is clamped to a value of at least 1 or the specified
percentage of the maximum brightness, whichever is greater. When unset or set to true, the brightness is
clamped in the same way with percentage 5%. When false, the saved brightness will not be clamped, and
loaded as is.
On restoring brightness of a LED device, systemd-backlight reads ID_LEDS_CLAMP udev property, that also
takes a boolean value or a percentage. When a percentage is specified, the saved brightness is clamped to
the specified percentage of the maximum brightness. When set to true, the brightness is clamped in the
same way with percentage 5%. When unset or set to false, the saved brightness will not be clamped, and
loaded as is.
