💖 lxlock(1) — the locking utility for LXDE, but make it a vibe 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to the lxlock manual page, living in the General Commands Manual section of your friendly neighbourhood Unix system. Yes this is the lxlock(1) page, yes it's short, yes it's iconic, and yes I'm gonna make it make sense for you. 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

lxlock — locking utility for LXDE 🔒

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

lxlock

That's it. That's the whole thing. No flags, no args, no drama. You just run it and it does the thing. Periodt. 💅

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

lxlock is a simple script that locks your session — and the way it does that is by borrowing somebody else's lock screen, because why reinvent the wheel when the wheel is already slaying. 🛞✨

It uses third party applications to do the actual locking, and it goes down this list in this exact order, trying each one and moving on to the next if that application isn't available:

1. light-locker
2. xscreensaver
3. gnome-screensaver
4. slock
5. xlock
6. i3lock
7. slimlock
8. xtrlock
9. xsecurelock

So if you've got light-locker installed, that's the main character. If not, it checks xscreensaver. If not that, gnome-screensaver. And so on down the line until something answers. No cap. 🔥

And that's the whole page, bestie. This was lxlock(1) from the General Commands Manual — shoutout to the crew who wrote it, and to you for reading all the way to the bottom. Go lock your screen. Stay safe. Slay. 🫶🔒💜
