The command "xtrlock -f" is used to enable the xtrlock utility and activate the freeze mode. Here is the explanation of each part:

  • "xtrlock" is a command-line utility used to lock the X display until a password is entered.
  • "-f" is an option or flag used with the xtrlock command to activate the freeze mode. When this option is specified, xtrlock locks the entire X display, preventing any input or activity until the correct password is entered.

In summary, running "xtrlock -f" will lock your X display, freezing the screen and blocking all input until the correct password is provided.
