+.Sh NAME
+.Nm luxinit ,
+.Nm luxfree
+.Nd initialize and destroy a luxdisp struct
+.Sh SYNOPSIS
+.In lux.h
+.Ft int
+.Fn luxinit "struct luxdisp *disp"
+.Ft void
+.Fn luxfree "struct luxdisp *disp"
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+The
+.Fn luxinit
+function initializes the values of the
+.Vt "struct luxdisp"
+structure pointed to by
+.Va disp .
+Allocation of
+.Va disp
+is left up to the user.
+All
+.Vt "struct luxdisp"
+structures should be initialized with the
+.Fn luxinit
+function before being used with any other library functions.
+.Pp
+The
+.Fn luxfree
+function does the opposite of the
+.Fn luxinit
+function, cleaning up all the resources used by the
+.Vt "struct luxdisp"
+structure pointed to by
+.Va disp .
+This function should be called for all
+.Vt "struct luxdisp"
+structures that have been initialized by
+.Fn luxinit
+after they are no longer required.
+.Sh RETURN VALUES
+The
+.Fn luxinit
+function returns the file descriptior of the directory containing the backlight
+files located in
+.Pa /sys/class/backlight
+on success.
+On error, \-1 is returned and
+.Va errno
+is set to indicate the error.
+.Pp
+The
+.Fn luxfree
+function returns no value.
+.Sh EXAMPLES
+The following program initializes a new
+.Vt "struct luxdisp"
+structure, uses it to set the display brightness to 100%, and then frees the
+resources used by the structure.

+#include <err.h>

+
+	if (luxinit(&disp) == -1)
+		err(EXIT_FAILURE, "luxinit");
+	luxsetp(&disp, 100.0);
+	luxfree(&disp);
+
+	return EXIT_SUCCESS;
+}
