- i3lock - slightly improved screen locker based on slock
- ============================
- i3lock improves slock by making it fork() and therefore combinable with
- commands to suspend your computer. Additionally, instead of turning off
- your screen via DPMS and/or displaying a black screen, i3lock displays a
- white screen so you can see if your computer failed to resume from suspend
- or if your screen is just locked. Also, when entering a wrong password,
- i3lock does not call XBell(). This is important because i3lock/slock think
- you’ve entered a password when resuming from suspend, at least sometimes.
-
- i3lock was forked from slock-0.9
-
- Requirements
- ------------
- In order to build i3lock you need the Xlib header files and the PAM development
- headers (libpam-dev or similar).
-
-
- Installation
- ------------
- Edit config.mk to match your local setup (slock is installed into
- the /usr/local namespace by default).
-
- Afterwards enter the following command to build and install slock
- (if necessary as root):
-
- make clean install
-
-
- Running i3lock
- -------------
- Simply invoke the 'i3lock' command. To get out of it, enter your password.
