NAME

     slock — simple X screen locker

SYNOPSIS

     slock [-v] [cmd [arg ...]]

DESCRIPTION

     slock is a simple X screen locker. If provided, cmd [arg ...] is executed after the screen
     has been locked.

OPTIONS

     -v      Print version information to stdout and exit.

SECURITY CONSIDERATIONS

     To make sure a locked screen can not be bypassed by switching VTs or killing the X server
     with Ctrl+Alt+Backspace, it is recommended to disable both in xorg.conf(5) for maximum
     security:

     Section "ServerFlags"
             Option "DontVTSwitch" "True"
             Option "DontZap"      "True"
     EndSection

EXAMPLES

     $ slock /usr/sbin/s2ram

CUSTOMIZATION

     slock can be customized by creating a custom config.h from config.def.h and (re)compiling
     the source code. This keeps it fast, secure and simple.
