14 i3lock \- improved screen locker
33 is a simple screen locker like slock. After starting it, you will see a white
34 screen (you can configure the color/an image). You can return to your screen by
35 entering your password.
40 * 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)
43 * You can specify either a background color or a PNG image which will be displayed while your screen is locked.
46 * You can specify whether i3lock should bell upon a wrong password.
49 * i3lock uses PAM and therefore is compatible with LDAP etc.
55 Display the version of your
60 Don't fork after starting.
64 Enable beeping. Be sure to not do this when you are about to annoy other people,
65 like when opening your laptop in a boring lecture.
69 Enable turning off your screen using DPMS. Note that, when you do not specify this
70 option, DPMS will turn off your screen after 15 minutes of inactivity anyways (if
71 you did not disable this in your X server).
74 .B \-u, \-\-no-unlock-indicator
75 Disables the unlock indicator. i3lock will by default show an unlock indicator
76 after pressing keys. This will give feedback for every keypress and it will
77 show you the current PAM state (whether your password is currently being
78 verified or whether it is wrong).
81 .BI \-i\ path \fR,\ \fB\-\-image= path
82 Display the given PNG image instead of a blank screen.
85 .BI \-c\ rrggbb \fR,\ \fB\-\-color= rrggbb
86 Turns the screen into the given color instead of white. Color must be given in 6-byte
87 format: rrggbb (i.e. ff0000 is red)
91 If an image is specified (via \-i) it will display the image tiled all over the screen
92 (if it is a multi-monitor setup, the image is visible on all screens).
95 .BI \-p\ win|default \fR,\ \fB\-\-pointer= win|default
96 If you specify "default",
98 does not hide your Mousepointer. If you specify "win",
100 displays a hardcoded Windows-Pointer (thus enabling you to fuck with your
101 friends by using a Screenshot of a Windows-Desktop as a locking-screen).
