Depending on your brightness #18

I'm creating a lib and I want to base it on this one.

I'm curious if you know how the internals work.... do you know if a file is being written to? Like on linux it is writing to /sys/class/backlight/vendor/brightness. Is this also the case on OSX?

Nope - it's all IOKit futzing. macOS doesn't have anything like sysfs - the IOKit registry is a bit like it, I guess.
