NAME

i3lock - slightly improved version of slock

SYNOPSIS

i3lock [-v] [-n] [-b] [-d] [-i image.xpm] [-c color] [-t]

DESCRIPTION

i3lock locks your screen by making it white (default). To quit i3lock just enter your password.

DIFFERENCES TO SLOCK

i3lock improves slock by making it fork() and therefore combinable with commands to suspend your computer. Additionally, instead of turning off your screen via DPMS and/or displaying a black screen, i3lock displays a white (or colored in your favorite color) screen so you can see if your computer failed to resume from suspend or if your screen is just locked. Since version 1.1, i3lock can display images in XPM file format. Also, when entering a wrong password, i3lock does not call XBell(). This is important because i3lock/slock think you've entered a password when resuming from suspend, at least sometimes.

Since version 1.0, i3lock supports PAM.

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).
-i, --image
Display the given XPM image instead of a blank screen. You can convert an image to XPM by using convert(1) from ImageMagick or GIMP for example.
-c, --color
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, --tile
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).
