@chapter Overview
Inspired by Redshift, Blueshift adjusts the colour
temperature of your monitor according to brightness
outside to reduce eye strain and make it easier to
fall asleep when going to bed. It can also be used
to increase the colour temperature and make the
monitor bluer, this helps you focus on your work.
Blueshift is not user friendly and it is not
meant too be. Blueshift does offer limited
use of command line options to apply settings,
but it is really meant for you to have configuration
files (written in Python 3) where all the policies
are implemented, Blueshift is only meant to provide
the mechanism for modifying the colour curves.
Blueshift neither provides any means of automatically
getting your geographical position; the intention is
that you should implement that in the policy yourself
using library which can do that. Additionally
Blueshift provides not safe guards from making your
screen unreadable or otherwise miscoloured; and
Blueshift will never, officially, add support
specifically for any proprietary operating system.
Blueshift is fully extensible so it is possible to
make extensions that make it usable under unsupported
systems, the base code is written in Python 3 without
calls to any system dependent functions.
If Blueshift does not work for you for any of these
reasons, you should take a look at Redshift.
@node Invoking
@chapter Invoking
Blueshift uses argparser to read options from the
commnad line. It inherits a few properaties from this:
abbreviations are supported, you only need to type the
beginning of the long options so that the rest can
be filled in unambiguously by the program; @option{--}
can be used, as usual, to make all following options
being parsed as just arguments; and @option{++} works
like @option{--}, except it only allied to the next
option. Any argument that is not parsed as an option
for Blueshift is passed onto the configuration script.
Blueshift recognises the following options:
@table @option
@item -c
@itemx --configurations FILE
Select configuration script. This defaults to the
first file of the following the exists:
@file{$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/blueshift/blueshiftrc},
@file{$HOME/.config/blueshift/blueshiftrc},
@file{$HOME/.blueshiftrc}, @file{/etc/blueshiftrc}.
Blueshift does not check the user home, rather it
checks @env{HOME} which should be the user home, unless
you change it yourself.
@item -p @c the long name of option is inspired from openntpd
@itemx --panic-gate
@itemx --panicgate
Applies the settings directly instead of transitioning
into the initial settings. There is not option for doing
this when the program exists. But you press @kbd{Control+c}
twice, or send SIGTERM twice, to skip transition into
default settings.
@item -h
@itemx -?
@itemx --help
Prints help information.
@item -C
@itemx --copying
@itemx --copyright
Prints copyright information.
@itemx -W
@itemx --warranty
Prints non-warranty information,
included in the copyright information.
@itemx -v
@itemx --version
Prints the name of the program and the
installed version of the program
@end table
Blueshift also supports a few options
for ad-hoc settings. These are ignored
(unlessed fetched by the configuration file)
if @option{-c} (@option{--configurations})
is used.
@table @option
@item -g
@itemx --gamma RGB|R:G:B
@item -b
@itemx --brightness RGB|R:G:B
@item +b
@itemx ++brightness Y
@item -t
@itemx --temperature TEMP
@item -l
@itemx --location LAT:LON
@item -r
@itemx --reset
@item -o
@itemx --output
@itemx --crtc CRTC
