NAME
waylock - a small Wayland screenlocker
SYNOPSIS
waylock [options]
DESCRIPTION
Waylock is a small screenlocker for Wayland compositors implementing ext-session-lock-v1. The ext-session-lock-v1 protocol is significantly more robust than previous client-side Wayland screen locking approaches. Importantly, the screenlocker crashing does not cause the session to be unlocked.
OPTIONS
-h
-version
-log-level [error|warning|info|debug]
-fork-on-lock
-ready-fd fd
-ignore-empty-password
-init-color 0xRRGGBB
-input-color 0xRRGGBB
-fail-color 0xRRGGBB
USAGE
Run the waylock executable to lock the session. All monitors will be blanked with the -init-color. Typing causes the color to change to the -input-color. Esc or Ctrl-U clears all current input, while backspace deletes the last UTF-8 codepoint.
To unlock the session, type your password and press Enter. If the password is correct, waylock will unlock the session and exit. Otherwise, the color will change to the -fail-color and you may try again.
In order to automatically run waylock after a certain amount of time with no input or before sleep, the swayidle(1) utility or a similar program may be used. See the swayidle(1) man page for details.
