Manuel Stoeckl 0569a47ef7 Configure SIGUSR1 with sigaction() instead of signal()
If signal() is used to set a signal handler, only the first signal
received will use the handler; any later signals use the default
behavior (making swaylock terminate immediately, without unlocking).
Using sigaction() ensures that the handler will be used every time.

swaylock

swaylock is a screen locking utility for Wayland compositors. It is compatible with any Wayland compositor which implements the ext-session-lock-v1 Wayland protocol.

See the man page, swaylock(1), for instructions on using swaylock.

Release Signatures

Releases are signed with E88F5E48 and published on GitHub. swaylock releases are managed independently of sway releases.

Installation

From Packages

Swaylock is available in many distributions. Try installing the "swaylock" package for yours.

Compiling from Source

Install dependencies:

  • meson *
  • wayland
  • wayland-protocols *
  • libxkbcommon
  • cairo
  • gdk-pixbuf2 **
  • pam (optional)
  • scdoc (optional: man pages) *
  • git *

* Compile-time dep
** Optional: required for background images other than PNG

Run these commands:

meson build
ninja -C build
sudo ninja -C build install

On systems without PAM, you need to suid the swaylock binary:

sudo chmod a+s /usr/local/bin/swaylock

Swaylock will drop root permissions shortly after startup.
