14 i3lock \- improved screen locker
32 is a simple screen locker like slock. After starting it, you will see a white
33 screen (you can configure the color/an image). You can return to your screen by
34 entering your password.
39 * 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)
42 * You can specify either a background color or a PNG image which will be displayed while your screen is locked.
45 * You can specify whether i3lock should bell upon a wrong password.

63 Enable beeping. Be sure to not do this when you are about to annoy other people,

74 Display the given PNG image instead of a blank screen.
78 Turns the screen into the given color instead of white. Color must be given in 6-byte
79 format: rrggbb (i.e. ff0000 is red)
83 If an image is specified (via -i) it will display the image tiled all over the screen
84 (if it is a multi-monitor setup, the image is visible on all screens).
88 If you specify "default",
90 does not hide your Mousepointer. If you specify "win",
92 displays a hardcoded Windows-Pointer (thus enabling you to fuck with your
93 friends by using a Screenshot of a Windows-Desktop as a locking-screen).
