Description

Locks the screen using an improved XCB and PAM-based screen locker. It is commonly used with i3 and other X11 window manager setups to protect an active desktop session.

It is useful for users who need a lightweight lock screen in an X11 environment. Authentication and idle integration should be configured carefully because a lock screen is part of the desktop security boundary.
