- <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. The percentage can be adjusted by specifying a
- percentage (needs to be suffixed with <literal>%</literal>, e.g. <literal>30%</literal>) to the property
