xbacklight: Increase current brightness by 25%.
$ xbacklight -inc ${25}
try on your machine

The command "xbacklight -inc ${25}" is used to increase the brightness of the screen by 25%.

Here's a breakdown of the command:

  • "xbacklight" is a utility command that allows you to control the backlight brightness of your display. It is specifically designed for systems that use the X Window System.
  • "-inc" is an option/flag for the "xbacklight" command, which indicates that we want to increase the brightness.
  • "${25}" is a placeholder representing the value by which we want to increase the brightness. In this case, it is set to 25, meaning we want to increase the brightness by 25%.

So, when you run this command, it will adjust the brightness of your screen, making it 25% brighter.
