slock - simple screen locker

Sravan's custom build of slock. Original slock build by suckless team found here: https://tools.suckless.org/slock/

Requirements

In order to build slock you need the Xlib header files.

Edit 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

Simply invoke the slock command. To get out of it, enter your password.

The configuration of slock is done by creating a custom config.h and (re)compiling the source code.

Most patches can be found on the suckless website: https://tools.suckless.org/slock/patches/

capscolor - Introduces an additional color to indicate the state of Caps Lock.
mediakeys - Allows use of media keys while screen is locked
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
