- i3lock - improved screen locker
- ===============================
- i3lock is a simple screen locker like slock. After starting it, you will
- see a white screen (you can configure the color/an image). You can return
- to your screen by entering your password.
-
- Many little improvements have been made to i3lock over time:
-
- - i3lock forks, so you can combine it with an alias to suspend to RAM
- (run "i3lock && echo mem > /sys/power/state" to get a locked screen
- after waking up your computer from suspend to RAM)
-
- - You can specify either a background color or a PNG image which will be
- displayed while your screen is locked.
-
- - You can specify whether i3lock should bell upon a wrong password.
-
- - i3lock uses PAM and therefore is compatible with LDAP etc.
-
- Requirements
- ------------
- - pkg-config (or you can rewrite the Makefile by hand if you want to avoid it)
- - libxcb
- - libxcb-util
- - libpam-dev
- - libcairo-dev
-
- Running i3lock
- -------------
- Simply invoke the 'i3lock' command. To get out of it, enter your password.
-
- Building i3lock
- -------------
- If you don't want to build against libcairo run "make NOLIBCAIRO=y", without
- libcairo displaying images is not possible.
