# slock - simple screen locker
This is my build of [slock](https://tools.suckless.org/slock/) for X.
## Requirements
In order to build slock you need the Xlib header files.
## Patches
| Name | Description |
| ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| [Background Image](https://tools.suckless.org/slock/patches/background-image/) | This patch allows you to specify the background image using the `background_image` configuration. The image is drawn separately on every monitor according to its size. |
| [quickcancel](https://tools.suckless.org/slock/patches/quickcancel/) | Cancel slock by moving the mouse within a certain time-period after slock started. The time-period can be defined in seconds with the setting timetocancel in the config.h. This is useful if you forgot to disable `xautolock` during an activity that requires no input (e.g. reading text, watching video). |
## Installation
Edit [config.mk](./config.mk) to match your local setup (slock is installed into
the /usr/local namespace by default).
Afterwards enter the following command to build and install slock:
```bash
# For Linux
$ sudo make clean install
# For BSD
$ doas make clean install
```
## Running slock
Simply invoke the 'slock' command. To get out of it, enter your password.
