i3lock

i3lock(1)							   User Manuals 							 i3lock(1)

NAME

       i3lock - improved screen locker

SYNOPSIS

       i3lock [-v] [-n] [-b] [-d] [-i image.png] [-c color] [-t] [-p pointer] [-u]

DESCRIPTION

       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.

IMPROVEMENTS

       * 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.

OPTIONS

       -v, --version
	      Display the version of your i3lock

       -n, --nofork
	      Don't fork after starting.

       -b, --beep
	      Enable beeping. Be sure to not do this when you are about to annoy other people, like when opening your laptop in a boring lecture.

       -d, --dpms
	      Enable  turning  off your screen using DPMS. Note that, when you do not specify this option, DPMS will turn off your screen after 15
	      minutes of inactivity anyways (if you did not disable this in your X server).

       -u, --no-unlock-indicator
	      Disables the unlock indicator. i3lock will by default show an unlock indicator after pressing keys.  This  will  give  feedback  for
	      every  keypress  and  it	will  show  you  the current PAM state (whether your password is currently being verified or whether it is
	      wrong).

       -i path, --image=path
	      Display the given PNG image instead of a blank screen.

       -c rrggbb, --color=rrggbb
	      Turns the screen into the given color instead of white. Color must be given in 6-byte format: rrggbb (i.e. ff0000 is red)

       -t, --tiling
	      If an image is specified (via -i) it will display the image tiled all over the screen (if it is a multi-monitor setup, the image	is
	      visible on all screens).

       -p win|default, --pointer=win|default
	      If  you specify "default", i3lock does not hide your Mousepointer. If you specify "win", i3lock displays a hardcoded Windows-Pointer
	      (thus enabling you to fuck with your friends by using a Screenshot of a Windows-Desktop as a locking-screen).
