.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
.B i3lock
|
|
is a simple screen locker like slock. After starting it, you will see a white
|
|
screen (you can configure the color/an image). You can return to your screen by
|
|
entering your password.
|
|
|
|
.SH IMPROVEMENTS
|
|
|
|
.IP \[bu] 2
|
|
i3lock forks, so you can combine it with an alias to suspend to RAM (run "i3lock && echo mem > /sys/power/state" to get a locked screen after waking up your computer from suspend to RAM)
|
|
.IP \[bu]
|
|
You can specify either a background color or a PNG image which will be displayed while your screen is locked.
|
|
.IP \[bu]
|
|
You can specify whether i3lock should bell upon a wrong password.
|
|
.IP \[bu]
|
|
i3lock uses PAM and therefore is compatible with LDAP, etc.
|
|
|
|
|
|
.SH OPTIONS
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-v, \-\-version
|
|
Display the version of your
|
|
.B i3lock
|
|
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-n, \-\-nofork
|
|
Don't fork after starting.
|
|
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-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.
|
|
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-u, \-\-no-unlock-indicator
|
|
Disable the unlock indicator. i3lock will by default show an unlock indicator
|
|
after pressing keys. This will give feedback for every keypress and it will
|
|
show you the current PAM state (whether your password is currently being
|
|
verified or whether it is wrong).
|
|
|
|
.TP
|
|
.BI \-i\ path \fR,\ \fB\-\-image= path
|
|
Display the given PNG image instead of a blank screen.
|
|
|
|
.TP
|
|
.BI \-c\ rrggbb \fR,\ \fB\-\-color= rrggbb
|
|
Turn the screen into the given color instead of white. Color must be given in 3-byte
|
|
format: rrggbb (i.e. ff0000 is red).
|
|
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-t, \-\-tiling
|
|
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).
|
|
|
|
.TP
|
|
.BI \-p\ win|default \fR,\ \fB\-\-pointer= win|default
|
|
If you specify "default",
|
|
.B i3lock
|
|
does not hide your mouse pointer. If you specify "win",
|
|
.B i3lock
|
|
displays a hardcoded Windows-Pointer (thus enabling you to mess with your
|
|
friends by using a screenshot of a Windows desktop as a locking-screen).
|
|
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-e, \-\-ignore-empty-password
|
|
When an empty password is provided by the user, do not validate
|
|
it. Without this option, the empty password will be provided to PAM
|
|
and, if invalid, the user will have to wait a few seconds before
|
|
another try. This can be useful if the XF86ScreenSaver key is used to
|
|
put a laptop to sleep and bounce on resume or if you happen to wake up
|
|
your computer with the enter key.
|
|
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-f, \-\-show-failed-attempts
|
|
Show the number of failed attempts, if any.
|
|
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-\-debug
|
|
Enables debug logging.
|
|
Note, that this will log the password used for authentication to stdout.
|
|
|
|
.SH DPMS
|
|
|
|
The \-d (\-\-dpms) option was removed from i3lock in version 2.8. There were
|
|
plenty of use-cases that were not properly addressed, and plenty of bugs
|
|
surrounding that feature. While features are not normally removed from i3 and
|
|
its tools, we felt the need to make an exception in this case.
|
|
|
|
Users who wish to explicitly enable DPMS only when their screen is locked can
|
|
use a wrapper script around i3lock like the following:
|
|
|
|
.Vb 6
|
|
\& #!/bin/sh
|
|
\& revert() {
|
|
\& xset dpms 0 0 0
|
|
\& }
|
|
\& trap revert HUP INT TERM
|
|
\& xset +dpms dpms 5 5 5
|
|
\& i3lock -n
|
|
\& revert
|
|
.Ve
|
|
|
|
The \-I (-\-inactivity-timeout=seconds) was removed because it only makes sense with DPMS.
