NAME
       slock --	simple X screen	locker

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

DESCRIPTION
       slock  is  a simple X screen locker. If provided, cmd [arg ...] is exe-
       cuted after the screen has been locked.

OPTIONS
       -v      Print version information to stdout and exit.

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 dis-
       able both in xorg.conf(5) for maximum security:

       Section "ServerFlags"
	       Option "DontVTSwitch" "True"
	       Option "DontZap"	     "True"
       EndSection

EXAMPLES
       $ slock /usr/sbin/s2ram

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 sim-
       ple.
