+# slock - simple screen locker
+
+Sravan's custom build of slock. Original slock build by suckless team found here: [https://tools.suckless.org/slock/](https://tools.suckless.org/slock/)
+
+## Requirements
+
+In order to build slock you need the Xlib header files.
+
+## 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
+(if necessary as root):
+
+```
+make clean install
+```
+
+## Running slock
+
+Simply invoke the `slock` command. To get out of it, enter your password.
+
+## Configuration
+
+The configuration of slock is done by creating a custom config.h and (re)compiling the source code.
+
+## Patches
+
+Most patches can be found on the suckless website: [https://tools.suckless.org/slock/patches/](https://tools.suckless.org/slock/patches/)
+
+* [capscolor](https://tools.suckless.org/slock/patches/capscolor/) - Introduces an additional color to indicate the state of Caps Lock.
+* [mediakeys](https://tools.suckless.org/slock/patches/mediakeys/) - Allows use of media keys while screen is locked
+* [message](https://tools.suckless.org/slock/patches/message/) - This patch lets you add a message to your lock screen. You can place a default message in `config.h`, and you can also pass a message with `-m message`
+* [terminalkeys](https://tools.suckless.org/slock/patches/terminalkeys/) - Add key commands that are commonly used in terminal applications (in particular the login prompt) to slock
