VLOCK-PLUGINS(5)	   Linux Programmer's Manual	      VLOCK-PLUGINS(5)

NAME
       vlock-plugins - plugin support for vlock

DESCRIPTION
       If  vlock-main(8)  is compiled with plugin support its default features
       are very	limited: it can	only lock the current session and ask for  au-
       thenticiaton.   However it is possible to extend	this functions through
       plugins.	 These plugins are loaded when vlock-main starts and can  pro-
       vide hooks that are called at certain points during the lifetime	of the
       vlock-main process.

DEFAULT	PLUGINS
       The  following  plugins are provided when installing vlock with default
       options:

       all

	      This plugin locks	all sessions by	disabling  console  switching.
	      It is also loaded	when giving the	-a,--all option	to vlock(1).

       new

	      This  plugin  switches to	a new virtual console before disabling
	      console switching	through	the "all" plugin.  It is  also	loaded
	      when giving the -n,--new option to vlock(1).

       nosysrq

	      Linux  only.  This plugin	disables the Linux SysRQ mechanism be-
	      fore the console switching is locked by the "all"	plugin.	 It is
	      also  loaded  when  giving  the  -s,--disable-sysrq  option   to
	      vlock(1).

ADDITIONAL PLUGINS
       The  following  plugins	are  only available if explicitely selected at
       build time:

       caca

	      This plugin runs a random	libcaca	screensaver when the screen is
	      locked.

WRITING	PLUGINS
       For information about writing plugins see the PLUGINS file in the vlock
       source distribution.
