Lily Foster 2c4bafc57f Fix option parsing without --debug after #261
From getopt manual page:

> By default, getopt() permutes the contents of argv as it scans, so that eventually all the nonoptions are at the end. Two other scanning modes are also implemented. [...] If the first character of optstring is '-', then each nonoption argv-element is handled as if it were the argument of an option with character code 1.

> If the first character (following any optional '+' or '-' described above) of optstring is a colon (':'), then getopt() likewise does not print an error message. In addition, it returns ':' instead of '?' to indicate a missing option argument. This allows the caller to distinguish the two different types of errors.

swaylock

swaylock is a screen locking utility for Wayland compositors. It is compatible with any Wayland compositor which implements one of the following Wayland protocols:

  • ext-session-lock-v1, or
  • wlr-layer-shell and wlr-input-inhibitor

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.
