Description

Locks a Wayland session so the screen can be protected when the user steps away. It is commonly used with Sway and other minimal Wayland setups that assemble their own locker, idle, and power-management tools.

Screen locking is security-sensitive. Test it before depending on it, and make sure idle rules, authentication, and suspend behavior do not leave the session exposed.
