       This manual page documents briefly the pommed daemon.

       pommed  is  a  daemon  handling the hotkeys found on the Apple laptops, like the MacBook Pro, MacBook and
       PowerBook laptops. These hotkeys control, through pommed, the LCD backlight level, the audio volume,  the
       keyboard  backlight  level  (only  on  the  MacBook  Pro  and  the latest PowerBook) and the CD/DVD drive
       ejection. Additionally, pommed monitors the ambient light sensors found on the MacBook Pro and the latest
       PowerBook to automatically light up the keyboard backlight when the ambient light level gets too low.

       pommed can optionally support the Apple Remote Control, too (this option is disabled by default and  only
       available for the MacBook Pro and MacBook).
