-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.
-
