    echo 'Usage: lux OPERATION [-c CONTROLLER_NAME] [-m MIN] [-M MAX]

Brightness option values are positive integers.
Percent mode, add "%" after values (operation options only).
Without option, it prints controller name and brightness info.

Information:
  -h  Prints this help and exits
  -v  Prints version info and exits

Thresholds (must be used in conjunction with an operation):
  -m MIN
      Set the brightness MIN (raw value)
  -M MAX
      Set the brightness MAX (raw value)

Operations (with percent mode):
  -a VALUE[%]
      Increase the brightness VALUE
  -s VALUE[%]
      Subtract the brightness VALUE
  -S VALUE[%]
      Set the brightness VALUE (thresholds will be ignored)
  -g Print the current brightness raw value
  -G Print the current brightness percentage

Controllers:
  -c CONTROLLER_NAME
      Set the controller to use.
      Use any CONTROLLER_NAME in /sys/class/backlight.
