The command "i3exit switch_user" is used in the i3 window manager to switch users on a Linux system.

When this command is executed, it triggers the "switch_user" function within the i3exit script. This function performs the necessary steps to initiate a user switch, including logging out the current user and prompting for another user to log in.

The "i3exit" script is a collection of functions related to system power management, user switching, and session management. It is typically located in the "/usr/bin" or "/usr/local/bin" directory, depending on the installation.

In summary, executing "i3exit switch_user" triggers a process to switch the logged-in user on a Linux system when using the i3 window manager.
