SLOCK(1)                    General Commands Manual                   SLOCK(1)

NAME
     slock - simple X screen locker

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

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

     The options are as follows:

     -v      Print version information to stdout and exit.

EXIT STATUS
     The slock utility exits 0 on success, and >0 if an error occurs.

EXAMPLES
     $ slock /usr/sbin/s2ram

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

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.
