DESCRIPTION¶
This manual page documents briefly the

pommed is a daemon handling the hotkeys found on the Apple laptops, like

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).
