+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.B cg-limits
+sets the brightness (the brightness of black) on the monitors to
+.I brightness-all
+and the contrast (the brightness of white) on the monitors to
+.I contrast-all
+on all channels, or the brightness to
+.IR brightness-red ,
+.IR brightness-green ,
+and
+.I brightness-blue
+to the red, green, and blue channels, respectively, and the
+contrasts to
+.IR contrast-red ,
+.IR contrast-green ,
+and
+.IR contrast-blue .
+Alternatively,
+.B cg-limits
+can change the brightness on each monitor independently by
+using reading the values from
+.I brightness-file
+and the contrast on each monitor independently by
+using reading the values from
+.I contrast-file
+or default files.
+.P
+The files are 4-column text files where empty lines and lines
+starting with a
+.RB ' # ',
+after any whitespace, are ignored.
+The values in the columns should be, in order, a monitor's
+EDID, that monitor's red value, green value, and blue value.
+.SH OPTIONS
+.TP
+.B \-B " "\fIbrightness-file\fP
+Read the brightness values from the selected file.
+.TP
+.B \-C " "\fIbrightness-file\fP
+Read the contrast values from the selected file.
+.TP
+.BR \-c " "\fIcrtc\fP
+Apply the filter to the CRTC with the monitor whose EDID is
+.IR crtc .
+By default, the filter is applied to all monitors.
+
+If
+.I crtc
+is
+.RB ' ? ',
+all available CRTC's are listed.
+.TP
+.B \-d
+Keep the process alive and remove the filter on death.
+.TP
+.BR \-M " "\fImethod\fP

+The adjustment methods are supported via
+.BR libgamma (7).
+Only methods that were enabled when
+.B libgamma
+was compiled will be supported.
+
+If
+.I method
+is
+.RB ' ? ',
+all available adjustment methods are printed.
+.TP
+.BR \-p " "\fIpriority\fP
+Set the priority of the filter. Filters with higher priority
+are applied before filters with lower priority. The value
+must be a signed 64-bit integer (between \-9223372036854775807
+and 9223372036854775807).
+.BR cg-limits 's
+default priority is \-4611686018427387904.
+
+If
+.I priority
+is
+.RB ' ? ',
+the utility's default priority is printed.
+.TP
+.BR \-R " "\fIrule\fP
+Set the rule of of the filter to
+.IR rule .
+This is the last part of the filter's identifier (class).
+The default rule is
+.BR standard .
+
+If
+.I rule
+is
+.RB ' ? '
+the utility's default rule is printed. If
+.I rule
+is
+.RB ' ?? '
+the utility's default class is printed.
+.TP
+.BR \-S " "\fIsite\fP
+Select the site to which to connect. For example
+.RB ' :0 ',
+for local display 0 when using
+.BR X .
+.TP
+.B \-x
+Remove the currently applied filter.
