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 dis-
       able 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 sim-
       ple.
