i3lock: Lock the screen to a PNG background.
$ i3lock --image ${filename-png}
try on your machine
The command "i3lock --image ${filename-png}" is used to lock the screen of an i3 window manager session using a specified image as the background.
Here's a breakdown of the command:
- "i3lock" is the command itself, which is used to lock the screen.
- "--image" is an option or flag that specifies that we want to use an image as the lock screen background.
- "${filename-png}" is a placeholder for the actual filename of the image you want to use. This should be a PNG image file. You need to replace "${filename-png}" with the actual filename of the image you want to use.
Basically, when you run this command and replace "${filename-png}" with the actual filename of the image you want to use, i3lock will set that image as the background of the lock screen.
