NAME

       pommed - Apple laptops hotkeys event handler

SYNOPSIS

       pommed [options]

DESCRIPTION

       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).

OPTIONS

       pommed accepts the following command-line options.

       -v     Print version information.

       -f     Run in the foreground, printing log messages to stdout.

       -d     Run  in  the  foreground,  printing  log  messages  to stdout and debug messages to
              stderr.
