+i3lock - improved screen locker
+===============================
+[i3lock](https://i3wm.org/i3lock/)> is a simple screen locker like slock.
+After starting it, you will see a white screen (you can configure the
+color/an image). You can return to your screen by entering your password.
+
+Many little improvements have been made to i3lock over time:
+
+- i3lock forks, so you can combine it with an alias to suspend to RAM
+  (run "i3lock && echo mem > /sys/power/state" to get a locked screen
+   after waking up your computer from suspend to RAM)
+
+- You can specify either a background color or a PNG image which will be
+  displayed while your screen is locked. Note that i3lock is not an image
+manipulation software. If you need to resize the image to fill the screen
+or similar, use existing tooling to do this before passing it to i3lock.
+
+- You can specify whether i3lock should bell upon a wrong password.
+
+- i3lock uses PAM and therefore is compatible with LDAP etc.
+  On OpenBSD i3lock uses the bsd_auth(3) framework.
+
+Install
+-------
+
+See [the i3lock home page](https://i3wm.org/i3lock/).
+
+Requirements
+------------
+- pkg-config
+- libxcb
+- libxcb-util
+- libpam-dev
+- libcairo-dev
+- libxcb-xinerama
+- libxcb-randr
+- libev
+- libx11-dev
+- libx11-xcb-dev
+- libxkbcommon >= 0.5.0
+- libxkbcommon-x11 >= 0.5.0
+- libxcb-image
+- libxcb-xrm
+
+Running i3lock
+-------------
+Simply invoke the 'i3lock' command. To get out of it, enter your password and
+press enter.
+
+On OpenBSD the `i3lock` binary needs to be setgid `auth` to call the
+authentication helpers, e.g. `/usr/libexec/auth/login_passwd`.
+
+Building i3lock
+---------------
+We recommend you use the provided package from your distribution. Do not build
+i3lock unless you have a reason to do so.
+
+First install the dependencies listed in requirements section, then run these
+commands (might need to be adapted to your OS):
+```
+autoreconf --force --install
+
+rm -rf build/
+mkdir -p build && cd build/
+
+../configure \
+  --prefix=/usr \
+  --sysconfdir=/etc \
+  --disable-sanitizers
+
+make
+```
