🌈️ Configure Razer Chroma devices from the command line
rzctl(1) is a command line utility that allows changing the colorization parameters of Razer Chroma devices.
For the time being it only supports the one (and probably last) Razer device I own, the (seemingly discontinued) Razer Deathadder Chroma I found laying around and repaired for fun. Feel free to add your own via PR!

Save the file and execute udevadm control -R as superuser. Note that you may also need to reconnect your device in order to udev to apply the new permissions.
This software depends on argtable/argtable3 because I wanted to try out something new for parsing command line arguments. I'm very happy with the outcome. Argtable is Copyright (C) 1998-2001, 2003-2011 Stewart Heitmann.
