settings: Set a specific value of a setting.
$ settings put ${system} ${screen_brightness} ${42}
try on your machine

This command is used to change the screen brightness setting on a device.

Here's the breakdown of the command:

  • "settings": Refers to the settings utility or command-line tool, which allows you to access and manipulate various settings on the device.
  • "put": Specifies that you want to change a particular setting.
  • "${system}": Represents the category or namespace of the setting. It could be a specific app or system-wide setting. In this case, the specific category is indicated by the variable ${system}, which should be replaced with the actual value in the command.
  • "${screen_brightness}": Represents the specific setting you want to change within the chosen category. Again, the exact setting is indicated by the variable ${screen_brightness}, which should be replaced with its corresponding value.
  • "${42}": Represents the value you want to set for the screen brightness. The number "42" is just an example, and you can replace it with the desired brightness level.

Overall, by running this command with appropriate values, you can modify the screen brightness setting on your device.
