Information about the package, i3lock, which is shipped with common Linux distributions. The i3lock package is designed for, Simple X display locker.
Package Name:
i3lock
Summary:
Simple X display locker
Description:
i3lock improves slock by making it fork() and therefore combinable with commands to suspend your computer. Additionally, instead of turning off your screen via DPMS and/or displaying a black screen, i3lock displays a white screen so you can see if your computer failed to resume from suspend or if your screen is just locked. Also, when entering a wrong password, i3lock does not call XBell(). This is important because i3lock/slock think you’ve entered a password when resuming from suspend, at least sometimes.
