1 i3lock - slightly improved screen locker based on slock
2 ============================
3 i3lock improves slock by making it fork() and therefore combinable with
4 commands to suspend your computer. Additionally, instead of turning off
5 your screen via DPMS and/or displaying a black screen, i3lock displays a
6 white screen so you can see if your computer failed to resume from suspend
7 or if your screen is just locked. Also, when entering a wrong password,
8 i3lock does not call XBell(). This is important because i3lock/slock think
9 you’ve entered a password when resuming from suspend, at least sometimes.
11 i3lock was forked from slock-0.9
15 In order to build i3lock you need the Xlib header files.
20 Edit config.mk to match your local setup (slock is installed into
21 the /usr/local namespace by default).
23 Afterwards enter the following command to build and install slock
24 (if necessary as root):
31 Simply invoke the 'i3lock' command. To get out of it, enter your password.
