Description

A library for creating Wayland screen lockers using the ext-session-lock protocol. It helps developers build lock screens that can securely take control of the session until authentication succeeds.

Install it when building or running software that depends on this session-lock library. Screen-locking components must be tested carefully because mistakes can weaken session security or block access.
