Tools to adjust monitor and keyboard brightness on Macbook air:

keyboardLight: controls the keyboard backlight intensity
displayLight: controls the monitor intensity


Usage:
  light --set <percentage>
    - sets brightness to specified percentage

  light --increment
    - increments current brightness by 10% (should take ten calls to go from
      empty to full)

  light --decrement
    - decrements current brightness by 10% (should take ten calls to go from
      full to empty)


Build Instructions:
  make

device files. To allow usage by a normal user, invoke the following script from
the project directory after a successful build:
  ./allowNormalUserAccess
