Is there a way to save the current settings to restore when I fiddle with it too much?

[HalJordan]

I tried the --print-current option, which seemed to be the obvious use, but got this:

hal_j@home ~ % sudo msi-rgb --print-current
Enter Nuclear Launch Code Now:
error: The following required arguments were not provided:
    <RED>
    <GREEN>
    <BLUE>

USAGE:
    msi-rgb <RED> <GREEN> <BLUE> --base-port <BASEPORT> --blink <BLINK> --print-current --duration <STEPDURATION>

For more information try --help
hal_j@home ~ % msi-rgb -V
msi-rgb 0.1.0

--print-current is not for printing the current settings, but rather the current values of registers in the SuperIO for diagnostic purposes.

You can get print-current output something by also applying some changes, but bear in mind that the output is nothing that you can easily recover any information from.

If anything goes awry you can reset the SIO state by draining the power from your system (flip the switch on PSU, hold the power on button for a few seconds, flip the PSU switch back, power on as normal).
