NAME

       vlock-plugins - plugin support for vlock

DESCRIPTION

       If  vlock-main(8) is compiled with plugin support its default features are very limited: it can only lock
       the current session and ask for authenticiaton.  However it is possible to extend this functions  through
       plugins.   These  plugins  are  loaded  when  vlock-main  starts and can provide hooks that are called at
       certain points during the lifetime of the vlock-main process.

DEFAULT PLUGINS

       The following plugins are provided when installing vlock with default options:

       all

              This plugin locks all sessions by disabling console switching.  It is also loaded when giving  the
              -a,--all option to vlock(1).

       new

              This plugin switches to a new virtual console before disabling console switching through the "all"
              plugin.  It is also loaded when giving the -n,--new option to vlock(1).

       nosysrq

              Linux only.  This plugin disables the Linux SysRQ mechanism before the console switching is locked
              by the "all" plugin.  It is also loaded when giving the -s,--disable-sysrq option to vlock(1).

ADDITIONAL PLUGINS

       The following plugins are only available if explicitly selected at build time:

       caca

              This plugin runs a random libcaca screensaver when the screen is locked.

WRITING PLUGINS

       For information about writing plugins see the PLUGINS file in the vlock source distribution.
