+i3lock is a simple screen locker like slock.
+
+This SlackBuild patches i3lock to not to use PAM, and is as such usable in
+Slackware.
+For verifying the password it uses shadow instead. Because of that, it needs
+suid permissions, but those privileges are dropped as soon as possible.
+The code for this was taken from slock. See the patch and LICENSE-slock.
